Church Find welcomes Burc College in Gilles Plains, who are engaged in a revitalisation journey enriching the community, for all their latest times and information including times.
Burc College is a place where all students can learn – the only variable can be the time. We have obligations to teach every learner and expect all students to learn. We believe in fostering a nurturing environment in which each child feels special and grows in self-esteem. Burc College is a school where diversity is strength and students are expected to understand, tolerate and respect differences. We value close ties among children, staff, parents, and the community and believe in strong parent participation for their children’s education. Burc College is a school devoted to the development of the student’s, intellectual, social, emotional and physical capacities in an atmosphere of equal opportunity. We create an environment for children to allow them to be themselves and to develop their full potential in the way and at the pace appropriate to them.
The following assumptions are basic to the philosophy at Burc College:
- ‘knowing’ is a process, not a product;
- the curriculum should contain different learning experiences;
- the curriculum must be adapted to the child’s development level.
On-going successes will encourage the development of a positive self-image, which will in turn allow the child to risk and accept failures without retreating from the learning setting. It encourages an awareness of what each child knows and what he/she needs to know in order to accomplish and achieve further. This requires teachers who emphasise the successes a child achieves and necessitates a positive approach to learning.
