Buckley House encourages enquiry learning
At Buckley House, a strong focus is placed on enquiry learning to develop in students the confidence to learn independently. Teachers explicitly teach enquiry skills and strategies that help students to learn how to gather, organise and present information and develop information literacy skills.
Enquiry learning involves children exploring their biological, physical and social world through Science, Social Education, Personal Development, Health and Environmental Education.
Science
Buckley House is home to the Innovation Centre, a unique stand-alone Science and Year 5 and 6 Facility with its own specialist Science teacher. The Vivarium contained within the Science classroom allows students to study habitats and the adaptations of animals such as green tree frogs, blue tongue lizards, bearded dragons and long necked turtles. The facility is well equipped to cater for all disciplines of scientific learning and encourages children to develop a passion for understanding their world. It helps harness their natural curiosity and spark their imaginations.
