LEARNING SPACES

We believe teaching is not confined to four walls, which is why we use a range of different spaces to engage students in their learning. At St Finbar’s, our spaces have been specifically designed to maximise student learning across the school journey.

Our youngest students work and play in a large, flexible space that is bright, stimulating and welcoming. It includes interactive learning pods that provide daily opportunities for students to build their language and literacy skills through play and cooperative learning.

Primary Spaces

Our Primary learning spaces focus on developing the foundations of lifelong enquiry and love of learning. Students learn to work together and independently utilising equipment and technology that matches the task, fosters their creativity and encourages critical thinking and problem solving.
