About Westmount School
Formerly, our vision referred to preparing ‘Career-Ready’ students. We have intentionally changed this to focus on the development of ‘Life-Ready’ students. Any school can prepare a student for a career, arguably few can truly prepare a student more holistically for life.
A career is a different concept today. A student’s career might see them operate across multiple different professional fields throughout their working life. The days of doing the same thing for thirty years have passed.
Further, with the rapid changes in technology and automation some fields of work have ceased to exist or, at the very least, faced significant changes. And so, being ‘career-ready’ is no longer enough.
To ensure our students are life-ready, we need to teach differently. To be life-ready in today’s world, our students need to learn how to learn. To be life ready, our students need to develop independent and critical thinking skills, and skills such as teamwork and collaboration.
It is these skills that form an aptitude base that allows a student to adapt. Most importantly, these critical skills are transferable. When industry changes, when entire fields of work and job types are no longer required, it will be the life-ready, critical thinkers who stand the test of time and find new ways to add value.
At OneSchool, to deliver on this vision, we are prepared to do things differently. We challenge traditional and outdated pedagogical models. Our learning centres, the way we embed technology in them, and ultimately our students, are a testament to this.
