St Johns Park High School is committed to innovation and contemporary pedagogies.
Project Based Learning (PBL) is an approach to teaching and learning that engages students in rich and authentic learning experiences. It focuses on active, student directed learning and encourages students to face complex challenges. PBL connects students and our school with communities locally and globally. It is transformative for teachers and students.
