Do you remember the days of knowing your
neighbours? In this digital age, building
local connections creates lifelong anchors
for our children. Whether it’s bringing the
community into the classroom, or making

through inquiry and direct teaching
• Learning in the classroom and in the
community • Academia and creativity
