Access to the Round Square network gives students a number of opportunities to take part in, such as the recent Humanities collaboration with Newcastle Grammar School in Australia.
Regents is just one of 200 schools in the world that adopts the ‘Round Square’ approach to education. This is centered around the Discovery Framework, a set of skills, values and attributes that will help our students succeed in whatever field they choose to follow.
These include values like compassion, responsibility, courage, self-awareness and tenacity.
At Regents, the Discovery Framework can be found in almost everything we do and as a result, students receive a truly holistic education, which combines academic achievement with a strong appreciation for the local, regional, and global communities of which they are a part and a genuine wish to positively influence the world around them.
In practical terms, access to the Round Square network gives students at Regents a number of outstanding opportunities to take part in, such as the recent collaboration with Newcastle Grammar School in Australia.
Year 7 students from both schools exchanged video messages about each other's school, their country and cultures and how Covid-19 has impacted them and their studies.
This project was aimed at Year 7 Humanities students, to engage with other Round Square schools around the world, to explore different cultures through the use of the Round Square Discovery Framework as well as becoming more globally aware.
Students exchanged a range of questions about their country and culture via emails. The responses to the questions were filmed by both schools and shared as videos, these question-and-answer videos formed part of a cultural display produced by the students.
This project was a one-off opportunity to connect students and find out more about the culture and life in another country.
