Our approach to learning
Our approach to learning
Our approach is built around William Glasser's Choice Theory, which recognises that meaningful learning emerges when five fundamental human needs are thoughtfully addressed.
Survival
The physical component of the most basic human needs
Love
The need to feel cared for and be able to care for others
Power
The need to learn and appreciate feelings of value and power
Freedom
One of the five basic needs that drive all human behaviour
Fun
The need to have fun, and seek enjoyment in what we do
