Learning Habits Learning Habits are the characteristics that good learners need, to be successful over and above curriculum content.

We strive to help children (and adults) understand that failure is an integral part of the journey to success.

•

Reflection/Accuracy (Pre-Prep) – I review my learning and experiences in order to progress

•

Risk taking – I am willing to take on challenges with courage and responsibility

•

Perseverance/Persisting (Pre-Prep) – I keep trying when faced with challenges

•

Engagement/Listening (Pre-Prep) – I listen actively and respond positively

•

Independence – I use my initiative to develop my own learning

Values There are 6 Values we look at on a half – termly rotation. These are the same across RGS Prep and the RGS.

•

Collaboration

•

Courage

•

Inclusivity

•

Integrity

•

Respect

•
