Outstanding educators possess the capacity to adapt and elevate student learning by cultivating engaging, inquisitive, and creative learning environments. At Harrisdale our teaching staff  are guided by our Framework for Teaching and Learning which encompasses the principles of RISE, THINK, and EXCEL.

RISE focuses on creating the essential conditions needed to cultivate a positive teaching and learning environment.

THINK encompasses our approach to teaching, emphasising both how and why we employ specific teaching strategies in our educational practices.

EXCEL represents our approach to engaging and empowering students, enabling them to make significant progress towards their learning goals. We support our teaching principles by professional learning, coaching and mentoring whilst developing staff to understand the impact of their teaching on student learning and progress.
