Springwood High School has received funding to set up an Independent Learning Hub for Aboriginal students. The aim of the Independent Learning Hub is to enhance research skills and improve the quality of students' homework and completion rates of assignments.
Students will be supervised by a teacher(s) who is employed as a qualified tutor.
The aim of the Learning Hub is very similar to that of a homework centre where students are supported in their learning. This means that students in years 7 – 10 can access the support of qualified tutors after school hours to help them with school work and further develop their numeracy and literacy skills. Students will have access to computers and other learning resources.
The Learning Hub will operate in the school library. It is hoped that the Hub will commence operation during week three of this term.The hours of operation will be from 3.00 pm to 4.00pm, twice a week, although this may be increased with further demand. It is also expected that the Hub will operate to support students well into 2103.
If any community member is interested in paid work as a qualified or unqualified tutor, they should contact Mr Burnitt, the Deputy Principal, at the school on 4751 2111.
