Leading Learning/masada college

The world our children are growing up in will be different, and we need to educate them for their future, not our past. At Masada College, through our Leading Learning educational package, we respect students’ talents, develop their creativity, their sense of responsibility, thinking skills and encourage them at all times to strive for their personal best.

Through our experiential learning approach which is entwined with our Culture of Thinking Program and our Raising Responsibility behaviour management system, learners develop critical thinking, problem solving, improved decision making, educated risk taking and a curiosity and love for learning. We work closely with each individual child to develop personal strengths and capabilities helping them to explore themselves and their world in a structured and safe environment.

Not that they won't be able to use Google well, mind you, but that when a certain someone (read: admissions officer, employer, potential mate) enters "Tess Richardson" into the search line of the browser, what comes up will be less than impressive. That a quick surf through the top five hits will fail to astound with examples of her creativity, collaborative skills, and change-the-world work. Or, even worse, that no links about her will come up at all. I mean, what might "Your search did not match any documents" imply?
