It occurs to me that I have not posted here our definition of Signature Work inquiry:
An inquiry-based, interdisciplinary exploration of a significant problem, issue or question that is personally identified and defined by the student, and that involves substantial, developmentally appropriate reading, writing and reflection, and culminates in an authentic product that is publicly celebrated—called such to reflect the high level of personalisation and individual initiative involved, which makes the work authentically, uniquely and proudly their own.
By interdisciplinary we mean making meaningful curricular links between subjects explicit—for example, choosing to frame the Year 9 English Language speeches through the UN Sustainable Development Goals establishes a link to work on development in Geography and Catholic Social Teaching in Theology. In addition to creating a richer web of learning, this strengthens the perception and experience of knowledge as a meaningful and coherent whole.
