Learning for Life (LLP)
Discover how Canberra Secondary School's L.I.F.E. curriculum guides students through four key life stages, building empathy and a deeper appreciation for family, ageing, and end-of-life care.
The L.I.F.E Curriculum – 4 powerful life lessons
At Canberra, students’ learning for life begins with learning about life through a series of specially-curated lessons and experiences about the 4 stages of one’s life – namely; Life (birth), Infirmed, Frail and End-in-mind (Legacy mindset).
LIFE
A trickle of life –
Sails hoisted and bearings set
Journey’s end begins
Cohort 1 students celebrate their unique identity and advocate for family life through participating in a series of family challenges.
Infirmed
Each day’s a bonus
Difficult destination
Marked by the tide’s moiré
Cohort 2 students advocate for active aging by learning about the six domains: physical health, socio-emotional health, lifelong learning, digital connectedness, environment, and nutrition. Their learning culminates in creating educational booths about active aging for the National Day CarniVIAl celebrations.
Frail
They leave their footprints
With one last journey till rest
As timeless wisdom
Cohort 3 students befriend the elderly, learning to appreciate and value the wisdom of our seniors.
End-in-mind
Gracefully they go
As light shifts from night to dawn
Memory endures
Cohort 4 students prepare activity packs for patients at HCA hospice to enjoy with their caregivers, creating fond memories. Selected students also serve at the hospice, gaining valuable insights into palliative care and the importance of empathy and compassion.
