Kathy Walker Learning is a holistic approach to teaching and learning with an emphasis on developing students to become independent learners, critical and creative thinkers, building resilience and a sense of self.
Vasse Primary School implemented this program in 2015 for Kindergarten – Year 2 classrooms and are now recognised as a Walker Learning school in the South West Region. Experienced staff are passionate and committed to implementing this approach with integrity and authenticity.
The Walker Approach provides our students with a balance of investigative play based learning and hands on experiences that is supported with our structured and explicit teaching programs. Throughout this approach we have a strong focus on building literacy and numeracy skills, whilst allowing students to practise applying these skills to real life situations. Our aim is to develop the whole child and prepare them for the 21st century by fostering soft skills such as, communication, problem solving, conflict resolution, decision making, leadership, teamwork, and responsibility.
