Beyond the curriculum
Survival in the 21 century demands skills of agility and adaptability. At Trinityhouse opportunities are created for the development of entrepreneurial skills, and to allow for initiative and creativity to be shown. Children need to be involved and interested in shaping their learning experience. We exist in an era of communication and information. Access to unimaginable amounts of information is available today. The Internet provides an incredible research tool that can be a student's best friend or worst enemy. They need to learn the difference between factual information and factual-sounding opinions. Knowing how to manipulate information for effective oral or written communication is important. At Trinityhouse, technology is therefore embraced and integrated in the learning experience.
