“Working together, students investigate open-ended questions. They rely on each other to use evidence based reasoning and creative problem-solving. In order to prepare students for a future of lifelong learning, the teaching approach has exchanged an emphasis on teaching content to teaching process. Students conceptualise, hypothesise, explore, experiment, reassess, refine and present conclusions. In the process, students are exposed to a range of competencies and 21st century skills and are pushed beyond general curiosity, into the realms of critical thinking and understanding.” J. Glendinning

About the Integr8 Lab
Exterior
The inviting exterior of the Integr8 Lab will be an elevated gateway to the new facilities.
Flowing seamlessly from the existing astro, the outdoor seating area is a tranquil spot surrounded by leafy trees – ideal for group break-away sessions or even socialising and relaxation for the boys.
Interior
The new Integr8 Lab will be a modern, world-class venue designed to facilitate inquiry-based learning.
Cutting edge technology, flexible seating, collaborative zones, beautiful materials, and project display areas, are some of the features that will enhance the learning process.
Finishings
The fit-for-purpose fittings of the Integr8 Lab combine both form and function.
Furniture will include ergonomic chairs and wobbly stools for active sitting, strengthening core muscles and increasing concentration. Some tables will be amoeba-shaped – perfect for OT or breakaway spaces.

Benefits of the Integr8 Lab
For the Pridwin community, this multipurpose flagship space will host talks for parents, school concerts and it can be used as a venue for parent and board functions. The possibilities are infinite.
For our boys, this new facility will provide unparalleled opportunities to engage with technology and innovative learning methods. The Integr8 Lab will be a hub of creativity, exploration, and growth, preparing our students for the challenges of the future.
The new seating area outside the Integr8 Lab will have an additional functional benefit for the Junior Prep boys, as they will be able to use it for playtime and as a waiting area at pick-up time.

“From their younger years, our children are innately curious. They explore the world around them through play, imagination, and discovery. They build meaning, the create understanding, and they unabashedly share their learning. It’s in this process that they find joy in life and relevance in the world around them.” – T. Mckenzie
