Holy Cross School is proud to offer a dedicated Learning Enrichment program led by a specialised teacher in English and Mathematics. This program caters to students from Year 1 to Year 6, providing them with unique opportunities to participate in Learning Enrichment classes. These classes are meticulously designed to extend and deepen learning within the standard curriculum of English and Mathematics for their respective year levels.
Our Learning Enrichment framework is structured to foster individual talents while fostering a collaborative and supportive learning environment. The primary goal is to empower students with opportunities to explore topics in greater depth, breadth, or complexity. Lessons are thoughtfully crafted to stimulate intellectual curiosity, encourage critical thinking, nurture creativity, and cultivate a profound understanding of subject matter.
Learning Enrichment activities at Holy Cross take various forms, including:
- Extended Curriculum: Offering more challenging and specialised lessons to students ready to explore topics in greater detail.
- Extracurricular Programs: Providing additional learning opportunities through clubs, competitions, workshops, and other extracurricular activities related to academic subjects.Notable examples include participation in events like Cairns Eisteddfod Literary and Speech and Drama, IEU – Literary Competition, Cairns Tropical Writers Festival, Readers Cup, and APSMO – Australian Problem-Solving Mathematical Olympiad.
- Field Trips and Guest Speakers: Exposing students to real-world applications and experts in specific fields to broaden their understanding and perspective.
- Problem-Solving Activities: Encouraging students to tackle complex problems and engage in critical thinking exercises that deepen and extend the standard curriculum.
Learning Enrichment at Holy Cross School is thoughtfully designed to engage students’ love for learning, emphasising the development of critical thinking skills and creativity within a collaborative and supportive environment.
