Welcome to our first edition of Inspiring Connections for 2020.

And what a year it has been! Despite all we have endured as a larger world community, learning has remained at the centre of all that we do here at Holy Trinity. 

As we continue our learning, our learner profile attributes become even more important. 

It is important for us all to be inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, risk takers, open-minded, caring, balanced and reflective. 

#Choose Kindness 

Inquirer learners develop their natural curiosity. They acquire the skills necessary to conduct inquiry and research and show independence in learning. They actively enjoy learning, and this love of learning will be sustained throughout their lives.

Knowledgeable learners explore concepts, ideas, and issues that have local and global significance. In so doing, they acquire in-depth knowledge and develop understanding across a broad and balanced range of disciplines.

Thinkers exercise initiative in applying thinking skills critically and creatively to recognize and approach complex problems, and make reasoned, ethical decisions.

Communicators understand and express ideas and information confidently and creatively in more than one language and in a variety of modes of communication. They work effectively and willingly in collaboration with others.

Principled learners act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness, justice, and respect for the dignity of the individual, groups, and communities. They take responsibility for their own actions and the consequences that accompany them.

Open-minded learners understand and appreciate their own cultures and personal histories, and are open to the perspectives, values and traditions of other individuals and communities. They are accustomed to seeking and evaluating a range of points of view, and are willing to grow from the experience.

Risk Taker learners approach uncertainly with forethought and determination; we work independently and cooperatively to explore new ideas and innovative strategies. We are resourceful and resilient in the face of challenges and change.

Balanced learners understand the importance of intellectual, physical, and emotional balance to achieve personal well-being for themselves and others.

Reflective learners give thoughtful consideration to their own learning and experience. They are able to assess and understand their strengths and limitations in order to support their learning and personal development.

We hope you enjoy exploring the learning that has occured here at school, and at home during remote. 

May the upcoming break be restful and reinvigorating for everyone.
