Investigations

Our whole school investigations program uses a directed inquiry cycle model. This means that our students are active members in the learning cycle. Directed inquiry enables student voice, their interests and wonderings, to align with the curriculum enabling students to connect with the learning in an authentic way.

The cycle involves a series of learning stages.

MAPS University PS35101

We run three cycles a year over two years that focus on History, Geography, Earth and Space Science, Biological Science, Physical Science and Chemical Science.

Each Investigation cycle runs for a total of ten weeks and ends with a whole school showcase evening where students run demonstrations and/or commentary that highlights the knowledge and skills they have acquired over the cycle.

This celebration has been a standout for all students, teachers and families.
