[|Silverton Primary School] [|DEECD Silverton Primary School] - 21st Century Classrooms demonstrates an outstanding use of its flexible learning spaces with a pedagogy that focuses on Discovery, Authentic and Inquiry approaches to learning. ICT is deeply embedded in the delivery of the curriculum. Over 500 visitors from overseas, interstate and local schools visited the school in the past six months alone and left amazed at what is achievable with the right philosophy and environment. [|****Bellaire Primary School****]has implemented a whole-school approach to personalised learning, where students can become self-motivated and self-evaluative. Flexible learning spaces enable the use of team-teaching methods, while curriculum coaches build on teachers capacities to improve student engagement. Middle years  students set their own curriculum goals, selecting workshops, and creating weekly timetables that are commented on by parents, teachers and other students. They discuss their progress and set goals in weekly conferences with their classroom teachers, who act as learning advisors. Students use iPods, Mac/PC laptops, i-flip cameras and interactive whiteboards daily. Blogs and wikispaces, together with PowerPoint presentations and podcasts develop personalised learning and build communication within the school community.
