At Emmanuel we aim to provide a contemporary education that prioritises the acquisition of skills, where real-world application and authentic learning is evident, through an engaging and inspiring education that redefines teaching and learning for both students and staff.
Although we currently have many links with the wider community and industry, we are wanting to create more connections that can support our teaching and learning programs so that they provide more real-world applications.
We are looking for community members who have:
- a small business or work in an industry that might have a need, problem or idea that students can work on at school;
- particular knowledge and skills that can be shared with our students either as a guest speaker or by running a workshop for a group students. i.e. programming, landscaping, journalism, drawing, engineering, accounting, entrepreneurship, to name a few, and;
- a small business or work in an industry that is willing to take on some of our Work Placement students.
The purpose of this partnership is to:
- continue to develop closer links with our community;
- provide our students with authentic, meaningful, real-world learning experiences;
- provide opportunities for students to develop specific skills that are transferrable between learning areas, in and out of the classroom;
- personalise the learning experience for each student by catering to individual student needs and interests and;
- provide opportunities for students to realise their passions and/or interests.
