i-Hour

At Infant Jesus School, we believe that we should provide challenging and highly motivating learning opportunities for all of our students, catering for all ability levels, capacity and creative talents. We want our students to be creating solutions and to be critiquing, analysing and evaluating problems. We want our students to recognise needs or opportunities, not just in our school or community, but globally to identify and create solutions. We want our students to be challenged and to develop the skills required in a contemporary educational setting.

In order to provide our students with these rich learning opportunities, a new initiative, iHour was introduced into our teaching and learning program at the start of 2017, as staff strive to become a Leading Learning School.

In line with the Australian Curriculum, iHour aims to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to ensure that students:

• investigate, design, plan and create solutions
• are creative, innovative and enterprising
• engage confidently with and responsibly select appropriate technologies when designing solutions
