The Yule Brook College Vision

Yule Brook College is a small, caring and supportive learning community that encourages students and staff to achieve their potential through the approach of ‘One Student at a Time’.

Our students become responsible and contributing community members through a strong focus on the principles of Big Picture schooling, which encompass:

  • Small by design and the power of one on one in Advisory groups
  • Personalised learning that pursues passions
  • Families and community – grow a culture
  • Learning through internships and authentic assessment – make it real

PRIORITIES 2009 – 2012
To implement this vision, teachers focus on the following priorities.
 
 
Personalised curriculum
Real world connection
  • The school develops a learning environment in which each student’s needs are well known by teachers.
  • Learning plans are developed with students and care-givers to reflect these needs.
  • Students are supported to identify their learning needs and styles, and to discover and learn through their interests and passions.

  • Parents are partners in their child’s learning.
  • Students regularly demonstrate accountability for their progress to parents, teachers & their peers through public exhibitions.
  • Opportunities are provided for students to apply their learning beyond the school.
  • Students are encouraged to use their learning to make a community contribution.
