Hubs

Kurri Kurri High School’s Learning HUBs are a new, exciting and innovative approach to secondary education. In Stage 4, students work in classes, known as HUBs, which have up to sixty students and two specialist teachers to engage in all core subjects. Working in HUBs, PODs and HUDDLES, students engage in their learning in integrated REAL projects to ensure learning is rigorous, engaging and authentic. These projects are expertly planned to incorporate all syllabus requirements from English, HSIE, Science and Mathematics. HUB learning places and emphasis on teacher and student collaboration while encouraging critical thinking skills to apply key learning knowledge to real world problems. Working in award winning learning spaces, teachers utilise a brand new way of teaching working collaboratively to co-plan, co-teach and co-assess students in an exciting and engaging curriculum model with strong foundations in literacy and numeracy. HUB Learning is a unique way for students to begin their high school adventure and will ensure the development of their key skills to ensure their own academic excellence.

Peer Critique

Peer Critique provides students with a structured and supported process to analyse and discuss their classroom tasks and assignment submissions. Utilising guidelines, students provide feedback to each other before discussion with their teacher, identifying strategies to improve the quality of final submissions.
