Kalinda Primary School is one of only a few schools in Australia implementing Challenge Based Learning, an Inquiry learning curriculum designed by leading educators specifically to meet the unique needs of 21st Century learners.
Challenge Based Learning revolves around the students being set a real world challenge which they are called to work in teams to form a solution to. It is in meeting these challenges that the students undertake their learning in a real world context, rather than having it taught 'to them' in the traditional way.
Our Challenge Based Learning fits in around our explicit teaching of Literacy and Numeracy to provide students with a fully rounded curriculum that is targeted, explicit, student driven, and has real world meaning and outcomes.
Kalinda's Challenge Based Learning has been featured in local newspapers, as well as a page 3 feature article in The Age newspaper. (Students are shown above posing for a photo with a photographer from The Age).
Some examples of projects our students have engaged in:
