We are creating a school where we are fuelled by our passion and guided by our professional practice. We want each child to run to school every day!
At Aldergrove PS we follow an Inquiry based approach to curriculum with an embedded social justice narrative. We continue to implement this approach in order to foster authentic learning experiences through which our students will be able to see and understand how their learning in school can equip them to become dynamic, literate and compassionate world citizens. It is important to us that learning be relevant, engages their higher order and critical thinking skills and allows them to take their learning to make a difference in their lives, families, community and/or the world.
As a staff, we want our students to make their thinking visible as they demonstrate and apply
Higher Order Thinking Skills and think about how the learning is relevant to them and their lives.
In order to do so, we have adopted the following Social Justice strands. These are embedded in the learning opportunities extended to our students:
1. Self-love and Knowledge
2. Respect for Others
3. Exploring issues of Social
Injustice
4. Social Movements and
Social Change
5. Raising Awareness
6. Taking Social Action
