PMK Priorities for Learning 2015-2017

Through consultation the PMK community have collectively indicated the following priorities for learning:

A Montessori environment where there is provision for a wide variety of opportunities for learners to explore and extend their interests, strengths and creativity.

Each student will be guided and supported by teachers and families to develop:

• A love of learning and the knowledge that learning is fun
• An acceptance of differences and skills to develop relationships
• Skills to collaborate and work in a team
• An attitude of calculated risk taking and the confidence to make independent decisions within age-appropriate boundaries
• An attitude of open-mindedness
• Respect and value of others feelings and thinking
• Decision making skills through practical application
• A belief in and the confidence to creatively and imaginatively express and share their own ideas and opinions in a variety of ways
• The ability to develop and ask questions
• A curiosity about the world around them
• An understanding of community and their responsibilities within that community
