Life is a school ! go for lifelong learning.
Schools
are where we learn the lessons of life that would be useful to us when we grow
up. The North Beach Christian School hence does not prepare its students, not
for the jobs that we today but jobs that we see as in their infancy in the
various industries around the world. These jobs are available today but
did not exist say ten years ago. These are the jobs of the next world. These
are the jobs that rely on the human nature of creativity.
The jobs of the old world are either getting mechanized or are getting
offshored to locations where the cost of the labor to accomplish the job is
way lower than it is in Australia.
The North Beach Christian School is
observant of the aforesaid trends taking place globally. Keeping these in mind
, the management of the North Beach Christian School has set a curriculum, that
is not rigid and instead of being based on rote learning, it is based on
collaborative discovery. The students at times out of their age groups form
groups to solve and work on projects assigned to them or students themselves
form groups and select projects themselves with the faculty facilitating the
activities.
Gone are the days when students would sit row
by row and take notes on their notebooks with sometimes the teacher explaining
the concepts to school students. These days the emphasis is on experimental
learning and empirical learning.
While the government is making its
own programs to revitalize the lost glory of the Australian public schools,
the private schools Sydney wide have
taken a lead in the direction of innovative learning. Unlike the government operated and owned
schools, the private schools provide bespoke education. This translates to
the fact that every child is different and has to behave a customized
approach taken by the faculty members to ‘teach’. The word ‘ teach’ regarding
the actual practice employed is out of context.
Learning by guidance and experimentation is the new concept that is being embraced by Christian schools Australia wide.
Indeed education worldwide is
witnessing transformation with unprecedented components. We are using the word the component in education because there are many components to modern education
that is evolving these days. The first component is the content of education is the content of the study material. The
content is no longer static. Our school the North Beach Christian School an Independent School Sydney area
based has taken a note of it and devising approaches
and strategies to address the necessity for providing education, not for jobs
that exists today but for jobs and environment
for entrepreneurs, who may take the path to entrepreneurship for financial independence is what is the need of the hour.
Our activities and the pioneering efforts in
this pedagogical approach has been noticed and well rewarded with the fact that
we are in demand for enrolment.
