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
