At Pigeon Mountain Primary School, students learn through inquiry—a way of learning that starts with curiosity and builds deep understanding.

Instead of just being given the answers, students are encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas, make discoveries, and solve problems.

This kind of learning helps students to:

  • Think critically and creatively

  • Solve real-world problems

  • Make connections between different subjects

  • Apply their learning in everyday life

Inquiry Learning

Inquiry learning is exciting and meaningful. It reflects how we naturally learn about the world around us—by wondering, exploring, and trying things out. Every classroom looks a little different, but all our students are actively involved in their learning and are supported to take ownership of it.

By learning this way, students build skills and confidence that help them now and in the future.
