Learning

A collaborative and inclusive approach underpins the work of Pulteney’s Inclusive Learning team. These dedicated teachers and education support workers achieve significant results, both with students who require extension and enrichment and students with learning challenges, ongoing health issues or social and emotional needs.

Working with the family and classroom teacher, support is tailored to the individual student and may be short or long term, individual or in small groups, based on their level of identified need, developmental progress and ongoing progress to create the best possible opportunities for successful learning.

The integration of technology into teaching and learning is an ongoing and ever-changing process. At Pulteney, we are always looking for opportunities where technology can empower students to achieve outstanding learning outcomes, whilst developing skills required for living, learning and working in the 21st century.

As a Reception to Year 12 School, we are continuing to tailor our technology programs to align with best practice. In Kurrajong and the Prep School, students are provided with an iPad, to assist with personalising learning. From Year 6 and continuing into Middle and Senior School, students bring their own device to support their learning.

At Pulteney, we inspire learning in an environment that not only reflects real-world communities, but reinforces values of inclusiveness, diversity, harmony and equal opportunity.

We know from our own experience, in addition to global research, how hugely important and beneficial a mixed gender framework is.

That is why our School believes that a coeducational setting better reflects the diversity of society, and importantly, when gender integration occurs from a young age, when those early attitudes and perceptions are being shaped and formed, students come to understand and develop appropriate, respectful value systems.

By having young people of all genders learning side-by-side over a sustained and extended period, students cooperate and collaborate in ways that enable them to embrace and celebrate their differences, as well as their similarities.
