​​Gardenvale Primary School has a commitment to structured, purposeful inquiry that engages students actively in their own learning and allows students to gain new and deeper levels of understanding.

​

Inquiry learning supports students to make meaning from the world around them by drawing on prior knowledge, providing new experiences, reflecting on and applying new learning. Students pose questions whilst being provided with the skills and resources necessary to explore, investigate and search for answers.

 

The school has developed an Inquiry Model based on the four areas of:

​

• Personal Identify and Wellbeing - How can I be the best version of me?

​

• Environmental Sustainability – How can we care for our world?

​

• The Physical World – How does the world work?

​

• Social Responsibility – How do we learn from and live with others?

 

These concepts are covered in a sequential scope and sequence across the school.
