Our Lady of the Angels Primary students are picking up the 5 Cs of 21st Century learning in a fun manner.
The 5 Cs are for creativity, collaboration, co-operation, communication and critical thinking.
According to principal Eva La Rocca, in the primary grades, this is done through project based learning (PBL) while the kindergarten students use discovery learning.
“This style of learning develops skills in the areas of creativity, collaboration, co-operation, communication and critical thinking,” Ms La Rocca said.
Kindergarten’s Elijah Katzer chose the Australian bush for his environmental subject, because, “I love snakes”.
Year 5 students finished their PBL unit of the three states of matter with a day of cooking, heating, cooling and freezing all sorts of matter.
Ella Owen had fun turning her solids into liquid before adding heat to make solid again — in the form of a yummy cake.

Last week, our Year 5 students were busy blending science and storytelling- and the results were amazing! They created their very own stop-motion animations to explore geological events like earthquakes, volcanoes, and floods, and shared strategies for reducing their impact. From shaking buildings to erupting mountains, their creativity brought these natural forces to life- while also teaching us how to stay safe and prepared. Well done, Year 5!

From reflections in Religion and expressive pieces in Creative Arts, to a clever and entertaining role-play of how a bill is passed through government- they truly brought their learning to life! Thank you to our amazing Year 6 students, dedicated teachers, and supportive parents who joined us!
