At Annesley, we invest in the personalisation of the schooling experience. The ‘one size fits all’ schooling model is no longer acceptable in a world where diversity has greater recognition and value. It is no longer acceptable when technology is taking over automated skills in the workforce at a rapid rate. Humans are diverse by design, and this is essential to our survival. The future changemakers we are privileged to educate need diverse skillsets to make impact in an increasingly complex world. I am proud when walking into learning spaces at Annesley any day of the week to see children engaged in many different tasks because they are known by their teachers and have choice in their learning.
We are committed to small class sizes at Annesley. I don’t know of another school that intentionally keeps their class sizes as small as Annesley. Some research says that class sizes don’t matter, making the point that the quality of the teacher is of greater importance. Class sizes do matter at Annesley. We work to ensure that our children are known, valued and their schooling journey allows them to develop their foundational skills in personalised ways, build on their strengths and discover their passions.
We attract and retain outstanding teachers at Annesley, and I would proudly have my children taught by any teacher in our School. Next Thursday evening, each primary family will receive an email notifying their class placement for 2023 and on Friday morning, children will spend time in their new learning spaces.
It is exciting to be planning for next year!
