Jill Laughlin, principal at Camberwell High School, spent time unpacking their learning design process. Check out the school's website here, including links to their strategic plan, vision for learning, and the impressive Enterprise Centre. 

The Enterprise Centre was a collaborative project, set out to cater for 21st Century learning. Technology is fully integrated, and learning settings are flexible. These purposeful learning zones, including outdoor learning, collaborative zones, a design studio and an auditorium. This enables their students to work in a diverse number of ways, both independently and collaboratively.
