Contemporary Learning Experience (CLE)

Learning Explorations
The curriculum structure at RHCS involves the use of Learning Explorations as an overarching theme that drive student learning and provide a meaningful context within which the skills base necessary for learning success can be developed. There are 4 dynamic learning explorations that are explored throughout each year level with a specific ‘Big Idea’ explored throughout a single year.
CLE in a nutshell
Understanding Ourselves

Students investigate the way in which we perceive ourselves as human beings and our responsibility towards the well-being of ourselves and others. Investigation includes exploring our understanding of ourselves as individuals, our place within society and how we are influenced by the society that surrounds us. Students also exploring the systems within which we operate on a daily basis and the manner in which this is impacted on by leadership.

Sustainability

As part of this Learning Exploration students will conduct an investigation where they will discover the necessity of sustainability through investigations into ecological systems.
