LEARNING@STLUKE’S
After extensive research into the
dispositions displayed by powerful
learners, the teaching and learning
framework, LEARNING@STLUKE’S was
implemented.
The LEARNING@STLUKE’S framework
moves beyond the traditional approach
to learning, to combine the acquisition of
content knowledge with the development
of character. Appropriating Guy Claxton’s
Learning Powered Approach our framework
draws together research on how students
learn and what abilities strengthen our
capacity to learn. Within the framework, St
Luke’s has identified 5 R’s associated with
learning. Powerful learners display capacities
associated with Resilience, Resourcefulness,
Reflectiveness, Reciprocity and Restoration.
The framework encourages students to
reflect on how they can become more
powerful learners and encourages teachers
to focus explicitly on developing these
different learning dispositions. We do this
together as a community through the way
we talk about learning, the way we structure
learning activities and the way we think
about what good learning looks like.
4 | ST LUKE’S GRAMMAR SCHOOL
Restoration seeks to grow students, not only
as learners, but more importantly as people
who flourish, and who are characterised
by kindness, grace, compassion, humility
and seeking justice for others. Not only are
students able to grow in their understanding,
but we hope they might also grow in their
true humanity and that their capacity to
learn might empower them to change the
world, little by little, foreshadowing the final
restoration at the end of time.
Resilient learners are able to be absorbed in
their learning. They can manage distractions
around them focusing instead on their
learning. Resilient learners are able to
notice subtle changes in their environment,
identify patterns and details which inform
their understanding and, perhaps most
importantly, resilient learners demonstrate
perseverance when faced with challenging
learning tasks.
Resourceful learners are good at asking
questions which support their learning and
the learning of others, they quickly make links
between different ideas, can use reasoning
to form an argument and imagine new
possibilities. Finally, resourceful learners are
able to capitalise on the resources available
to them inside and outside the classroom.
Students who are strong in Reciprocity
know when they will learn best on their
own and when they will learn best with
others (interdependence). They are good at
collaborating with other students, have good
empathy & listening skills and learn from
others by watching them carefully and taking
on board new ways of thinking (imitating).
Here, in a nutshell, is what powerful learning
looks like – and this is not only for classroom
learning, but learning for life.
Reflective learners plan their approach to
their learning, continually revise how they
are learning, are able to identify the main
points they need to learn (distilling) and have
a good understanding of their own strengths
and weaknesses as a learner (meta-learning).

Learning Enhancement
The Learning Enhancement Department at St.Luke’s Grammar School supports students across both the Dee Why and Bayview
Campuses from Cottage – Year 12. Encompassing both Learning Support and Enrichment, a personalisation of learning approach
has been implemented to meet the needs of our students. This is achieved through careful planning and effective collaboration
between subject teachers, specialist teachers, parents and the students themselves. The implementation of individualised
adjustments and the provision of evidenced-based interventions and opportunities ensures that learning can be specifically
tailored to student learning needs.

ST LUKE’S GRAMMAR SCHOOL | ENROLMENT INFORMATION | 2021 | 15The Cottage (Pre-School) program is a ‘school readiness’ program for four year olds 16 | ST LUKE’S GRAMMAR SCHOOL
The Cottage (Pre-School) Program
If you are considering enrolling your child in Kindergarten at St Luke’s, we strongly encourage you to consider the Cottage (Pre-
School) Program for the year prior to Kindergarten. Cottage is a wonderful ‘school readiness’ program, that also focuses on
building social and emotional confidence and self esteem, which greatly assists in the transition to Kindergarten. The majority of
Kindergarten students complete the Cottage program the previous year.
The St Luke’s Cottage Experience Aims To Develop:
• Positive self-esteem • Basic social skills
• Increasing independence • Skills in sharing and co-operating
• The desire to learn and pursue interests • Enjoyment in being part of a small group and larger community
The Cottage School Day
DEE WHY CAMPUS
The Dee Why Cottage (Pre-School) Program is either a 3-Day or a 5-Day Pre-School / School Readiness Program. Classes begin each
day at 8:30 am and conclude at 2:45 pm. The School also provides a complimentary option of having your child stay in a supervised
environment, until 4.00 pm, should you need to pick them up later.
BAYVIEW CAMPUS
The Bayview Cottage (Pre-School) Program is either a 3-Day or a 5-Day Pre-School / School Readiness Program. Classes begin each
day at 8.30 am and conclude at 2.25 pm. The School also provides a complimentary option of having your child stay in a supervised
environment, until 4.00 pm, should you need to pick them up later.
Cottage Program Learning Experiences
Learning Through Inquiry: We know little people love to ask lots of questions. They are curious and inquisitive. Our program is
designed to capitalise on these dispositions by designing learning experiences around the questions that interest the children. This
means that while foundational literacy and numeracy elements of the program are similar each year - a proportion of the program
changes from year to year, as it is fluid, to take into account those things that capture the children’s imagination. Not only do they
pose questions, they learn they are also capable of finding the answers to questions and find new ways to approach learning
opportunities. They come to see themselves as researchers, investigators and problem-solvers. The content of these programs will
reflect the requirements of the NESA (previously the Board of Studies) Early Stage One outcomes as well as the individual needs and
interests of each child attending the Cottage program.
Each Learning Experience Is Aimed At Enhancing Growth In The Following Areas:
• Literacy Development: The foundations for early literacy and numeracy development are laid before children start school.
The Cottage program focuses on the development of four core skills.
• Phonemic awareness helps students to develop an ear for sounds in words.
• Phonics is developing a link between the sounds students hear and the letters that represent these sounds.
• Vocabulary involves students having a rich oral language.
• Comprehension is both being able to understand the literal and inferential aspects of stories and information texts.
• Numeracy Development: The first stages of numeracy development require children to engage in collecting, sorting,
ordering, sharing and classifying objects. It is important that children develop a strong association between mathematical
words and symbols and the objects, groups or actions they are used to describe. The first steps in developing mathematical
thinking is for children to test what happens, for example, when groups of objects are added together, when they are shared
or sorted into smaller groups.
• Social & Emotional Development: In a school environment, children are not just learning academic skills. They are learning how
to be part of a community and to learn with others. The children learn to interact with different personalities and to negotiate
with others. Children receive support to develop their social interaction skills, just as they learn any other skills at school.
• Physical Development: This is where children have the opportunity to extend their gross motor (large muscle) skills such as hand/eye and
foot/eye co-ordination, jumping, running, climbing, catching and throwing, music and movement and balance and fine motor (small muscle)
skills including the skills required for pre-writing and drawing, cutting with scissors, threading, art and craft experiences, and construction.
• Spiritual Development: As a member of the Anglican School Corporation, we want our students to learn about the message
of the Bible. Each week children in Cottage will participate in a Christian Studies lesson. Children learn about God’s love for
them through age-appropriate stories, songs and activities. Throughout the school day, there is an emphasis on the values
that underpin the Christian message. Children are encouraged to see how their words and actions impact on others.
