How We Learn

Our commitment to learning is built on the principle that students, with the mentorship, will rise to the level of expectations presented to them. At Underdale High School we value the importance of teacher efficacy and know that the role of all our staff is to support the conditions that create an optimal learning environment for our students. We are committed to ensuring that all learning environments provide our students with engaging, meaningful, relevant and challenging tasks and activities. We aspire to a learning culture that builds effective learners by modelling, teaching and using self-regulation and metacognitive strategies for learning. We value student agency as a significant aspect of the learning process and know that educator agency is important to shape this. We have high expectations of classroom routines, respectful behaviour and engaging lessons for both students and staff that are inclusive and celebrate diversity.
