The Blakehurst Public School Podcast

Help your child begin Term 3 with a positive learning mindset by listening to our latest Blakehurst Public School Podcast together.

Students from across the school share the qualities that make a great learner, including asking questions, listening carefully, helping others, persisting and learning from mistakes. The episode also explores how scientists use mistakes to improve their ideas and features a debate on whether making mistakes is the best way to learn.

Listening together is a simple way to start valuable family conversations about resilience, effort and what your child can do when learning feels challenging. There’s also a book taster, jokes and a riddle challenge to enjoy!

🎙️ Listen as a family and ask your child: What quality will you practise to become a great learner this term?
