A powerpoint on the four pillars of learning.

3. WHY WE HAVE IT
At jmss, we have this
framework to ensure that each
student develops the
necessary life skills to
succeed in life outside of
school. It helps students learn
to know, learn to be, learn to
do and learn to live together.
These skills form to make up
a well rounded student that
can tackle any challenge.

4. LEARN TO KNOW
This pillar is focused on building
students who can ask effective questions
and use resources efficiently. It helps
build us into students that can conduct
research collaboratively, on our own and
make use of the information we gather. It
encourages us to think outside the box
and reflect on our own learning so that
we can improve ourselves. Learning to
know is an important pillar as it aids in
developing new skills which will help us
adjust to changes or unforeseen events
later in life.

5. LEARN TO BE
The learning to be pillar is
focused on building good
people that have learnt to
conduct themselves in a well-
rounded manner and have
acquired a broad range of
attributes. These attributes
include being optimistic,
courageous, passionate, These characteristics help them achieve their
balanced, independent, personal best in everything they do. We can
confident and aspirational. study issues from all points of view and act
honestly and ethically when making decisions.
Outside of school this pillar will ensure that we
develop into good people.

6. LEARNING TO DO
The pillar, learning to do is orientated
around creating learners who are
adaptable. It teaches us to live with
change and to embrace it, we are
effective communicators and listeners
able to collaborate effectively with the
people around us. We are persistent
and work through challenges
unaffected by distractions. We focus These skills will help us to work
on developing the necessary abilities effectively with co-workers and to
to further ourselves in specific areas work to the best of our ability in
of learning. order to succeed.

7. LEARNING TO LIVE TOGETHER
For some people building relationships and working with other people is
challenging. This pillar ensures that when students from John Monash leave
school they can form strong relationships in the work place or in higher
levels of education. As learners we are taught equality and to treat everyone
with respect. We value everyone’s opinion and take into account other
peoples point of view when making decisions. We celebrate diversity
and embrace all cultures.
These are very helpful
skills in life as you may
not get along with
everyone, but being able
to work with these people
is important as you can
collaborate and complete
what is required.

8. CONCLUSION
Together these four pillars
provide a framework which
builds students into mature
people who can succeed in
every aspect of life. With the
skills from these pillars put
into practice we can
overcome any challenge we
may face in the near or
distant future.
