Do learn in a variety of ways-through experience, making and doing things, experimentation, reading, discussion, asking, listening, thinking and reflecting, and expressing yourself in speech or writing both individually and with others.

Learning takes place both within school and outside school. Participate in social and environmental projects. Be innovative! Work independently, collaboratively and harmoniously.
