At Ravenswood, we take pride in our commitment to unlocking each student’s unique strengths and preparing them for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Integrating Positive Education and Visible Wellbeing principles is central to our teaching philosophy, ensuring that holistic development is at the forefront of our educational approach.
In the senior years at Ravenswood, our goal is to cultivate well-rounded, confident individuals with the academic and personal qualities required to excel in an ever-evolving world.
Year Coordinators, supported by Assistant Year Coordinators, oversee each Year Group and track, monitor and support students. They confer regularly with the Head of Senior School, the Director of Student Analytics, the Coordinator of Academic Studies, teachers and parents about student learning. Regular dialogue and feedback between staff and students are also actively encouraged to promote independent and proactive learning. Year Coordinators also provide academic care through the incorporation of academic study skills in specialised Senior Years Programs.
Students are also supported by Mentors, who are responsible for a small number of students and meet with them on a cycle of nine out of 10 days to monitor their academic progress and wellbeing.
All students are entitled to a rigorous and successful learning experience. For students with an identified area of need, an Academic Care protocol is put in place, which aims to ensure increased and appropriate academic care. Ravenswood’s Learning Enrichment teachers also provide individualised programs for students requiring support or extension.
Our focus extends beyond academic achievement: we aspire for our students to emerge as resilient, critical thinkers, deeply aware of their strengths and imbued with a profound sense of purpose and empathy for others.
Throughout their Senior School journey, students are encouraged to pursue excellence, not only in academic areas but in the spiritual, physical, cultural and practical facets of life.
