At Haileybury Pangea, we believe in fostering collaboration and cultivating an engaging online learning community by ensuring all our lessons are taught live by our exceptional teaching staff. Unlike recorded lessons, our approach encourages active questioning of content, interaction with teachers and peers, and a thorough grasp of the material.
Experience an online class
We would like to invite you to experience an online classroom for yourself by watching the video below of a recently recorded live lesson at Haileybury Pangea. The below video runs for approximately 10 minutes and is a Year 7 Humanities class. If you would like to experience a different class including watching a VCE lesson, please view our library of recorded classes.
Classroom technology
The Haileybury Pangea learning community has been designed from the ground up by our brilliant teachers working alongside international researchers in blended learning, and focuses on three pillars of student interaction:
- With their teachers
- With engaging and challenging course content
- With each other
This model ensures that every student develops self-regulation and self-efficiency in their studies while being supported by strong relationships with teachers and peers.
With small class sizes designed for students at similar stages of learning, the flexibility of online education enables Haileybury Pangea to deliver rigorous academic programs based on the Australian Curriculum and Australian accreditation (VCE). This ensures our students have access to diverse pathways for post-secondary education, both locally and globally.
Our technology platforms
Three core technology platforms support our learning community:
Microsoft Teams
Our learning community is hosted on Teams so students have plenty of opportunities to interact and work safely and collaboratively during and in-between scheduled sessions.
Small class sizes ensure that students can form strong learning relationships across their classes, creating a supportive space to learn together.
Canvas
Canvas is our central learning environment and is the home of high-quality learning experiences curated by our teachers. It contains self-paced content including interactive elements, videos and learning activities. Student progress is recorded each week to support them in developing healthy learning habits.
Microsoft OneNote
OneNote is our digital student notebook that helps students stay organised and allows their teachers to monitor learning closely.
Unlike a traditional notebook, it can contain more than just written work, providing students with more opportunities to engage with the content with annotations, audio and video.
