Why the Learning Culture of a School Is Important in QLD

At Townsville Grammar School, we understand the value of a healthy learning culture at all private schools in Queensland. It is true that children who are naturally motivated to learn will always strive to do so, regardless of where and how they receive academic instruction. So why is the learning environment of a school so important, and how does it make a difference? Let’s take a closer look.

Supportive Learning Environments at Private Schools in Queensland

As one of the top private schools in Queensland, we are proud to offer a positive and rewarding place for students to learn and grow. The learning culture, however, comes down to more than just academic instruction in the classroom. Rather, it is the overall environment in which students learn and whether this environment is encouraging and conducive to learning, or whether it presents challenges. An ideal learning environment is one where children feel comfortable to try, to learn from mistakes and to develop curiosities and talents. This matters because general attitudes towards learning, from as young as Prep, become a culture which has an impact on behaviour, learning and the development of potential. 

The Townsville Grammar School Learning Culture

Townsville Grammar School is at the forefront of independent schools in Townsville and across the region, with a strong commitment and culture of learning. It’s a defining point of difference for our school, and this culture of learning has been delivering the highest academic outcomes of any school in North Queensland for decades.

Here are the key features of the learning culture at all three campuses of our private schools in Townsville:

• Very high behaviour standards in the classroom, which means students receive maximum teaching time.
• Students are in an environment where it is very much the ‘norm’ to strive toward their personal best.
• Students feel comfortable to try, to learn from mistakes and to continue to strive, thus developing resilience and character.
• Teachers are supported by intensive professional development through the school’s own Teaching & Learning Framework.
• The culture of the school places a high value on the privilege of a quality education and how that can be used to contribute to our wider world.
