Leadership
Leadership development is crucial to individual success. School communities need people who model purpose-driven lives. The underlying leadership philosophy at Crawford International Schools is that of servant leadership where the servant-leader is servant first – adopting the idea that the natural feeling is one where there is a desire to serve first to enrich the lives of individuals, build better organisations and ultimately create a more just and caring world. True servant leaders put others ahead of their own agendas and possess the confidence to serve and initiate service to others.
Dance
Students are encouraged to develop their creative and intellectual capacity alongside transferable skills such as teamwork, communication and problem-solving. Students will be exposed to a range of dance styles, choreography and performance.
Philosophy for children (P4C)
The P4C movement offers a unique way to support each student’s learning through enquiry and the exploration of ideas. It teaches children reasoning and debating skills. Children are taught how to create their own philosophical questions and that their ideas and those of others have value. In the process they realise that they don't always have to be right, but they gain the confidence to ask questions; learn through discussion and value the opinion of others. This program also assist greatly to allow our students to adapt easier to an ever-changing world.
GO Lab
The world is changing at a rapid rate with the advent of modern technology which is resulting in a global paradigm shift. GO Lab exposes our students to technology with a core ethos of re-igniting creative potential and switching on bright minds. With hands-on experience, guided tutorials and the use of modern educational tools, our students are able to explore their own interests through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) Education and gain pertinent skills and knowledge that better prepare them for current and future careers.
GO Lab aims to equip our students with far more than just an awareness of global technology trends. The interactive curriculum and practical-based learning environment incorporates a range of relevant 21st Century Skills. These include Higher Order Thinking skills such as collaboration, research, communications and technological skills, as well as design, critical and creative thinking, self-evaluation and self-management, curiosity and innovativeness.
These skills are intertwined with the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals to encourage and facilitate meaningful education to address global needs of the present and the future.
