Exhibition of Learning
Exhibition of Learning
A bustling hot spot of hands on interactions for all ages, engaging conversations on the complex thinking of student work, fine cuisine that had people lined up for more and high preforming entertainment that rocked the audience. That’s the atmosphere many enjoyed while visiting Playford International College’s biannual Exhibition of Learning. This event is one of the most important events of the year showcasing the astounding work students have accomplished. These projects are the result of teachers who engage with their students not only as consumers of information, but producers of knowledge. These projects emerge from subjects and other learning experiences where students are asked to tackle open-minded problems, to operate with a degree of independence, and to share their work with a wider audience. If you were unfortunate to have missed this event, make sure you add the end of year Exhibition of Learning to your calendar now!

I had the honor of being the MC for the Exhibition of Learning, as well as participate in a number of music performances. What I liked most about the night was the different kinds of performances there was to see. I also loved being able to hold some of the animals in the Animal Center. I believe the Exhibition of Learning is a great opportunity for students to showcase their skills. I am really excited about the next Exhibition of Learning to see what new performances students will perform.
Presentation of Learning.
How wonderful it was to take the opportunity to continue building our positive relationships with so many of the Playford International College families while formally meeting at the Presentation of Learning. This is such an important occasion for students to reflect on their achievements and potential areas for improvements, that they have identified over the first semester and to discuss goals they wish to achieve in second semester. Being able to reflect and demonstrate self-awareness is crucial for success at school and beyond. Being able to comfortably do this, in front of others, is an extremely desirable skill set to have and will be a big advantage for students in future work.

During my Presentation of Learning my mentor teacher, Mum and I were able to discuss things I had achieved and how I can improve for the next semester. I also liked that I was able to have my voice heard and express my interest in music and get the support I needed for my mentor teacher to transfer into Contemporary Music. I think the Presentation of Learning is a wonderful time to talk about my personal growth.
