Adolescence is a transformative period defined by rapid change, development and the quest for independence. For Year 10 students, this can be a critical phase that can shape their future.
Woodleigh’s Regenerative Futures Program (RFP) has been strategically designed to expand the knowledge, skills and perspectives of our students to best prepare them for Senior Years at Woodleigh and beyond.
A highly structured delivery with generous scope for real-world learning and experiences, project-based learning shapes the Year 10 curriculum around the needs of contemporary learners, facilitating student agency, embracing ethical and credible research and fostering accountability. Every choice has been made to enhance learning and empower our young people as they embark upon their Senior Years.
In our ever-changing world, Woodleigh believes that a Regenerative culture is essential.
But what does this mean? Highlighted by educational practices it is a systemic transformation toward restorative, healing and regenerative practices in all fields of work and life. This aligns deliberately with Woodleigh's Year 10 Regenerative Futures Program (RFP), aimed at fostering critical and creative thinking with collaboration among students in a regenerative environment.
By nurturing these qualities throughout year-long Regenerative Futures Program, we empower our students to become forward-thinking leaders capable of positively impacting society and addressing the challenges of tomorrow, together.
