Flexible Learning Spaces
At Auburn Primary School, we take pride in our flexible learning spaces, which are supported by an extensive body of research.
Much of this research discusses the enormous changes in the world, the increasing pace of that change, and how schools need to change their approach to better equip young learners for the world in which they will live.
The following links provide a number of thought provoking videos to help you come to understand the rationale behind our approach.
- This series of images show how classrooms have changed in the last 150 years.
