Teachers at Holy Trinity Primary School, Curtin, have been undertaking individual Professional Inquiry Projects (PIP) this year to strengthen their ability to be thinkers, collaborators, communicators and researchers.

Each teacher was given the opportunity to research an area of education that they were passionate about and create artefacts representative of their inquiry. Staff spent a special afternoon together viewing the artefacts and their accompanying annotations.

“The purpose of our Professional Inquiry Project was to develop our expert education team by promoting compelling questions from areas of passion, interest and need,” said Philippa Brearley, Principal of Holy Trinity.

“The most powerful professional learning is embedded in everyday work and this PIP has enabled teachers the opportunity to explore and develop innovations,” she said.

From these projects, staff will work collaboratively to determine the learning to be continued into 2021 and embedded into practice at Holy Trinity. These projects will assist in informing the school’s Annual Improvement Plan for 2021 and beyond.

 “I could not be prouder and more in awe of the teachers at Holy Trinity,” said Philippa. “This project has reiterated the incredible talent, commitment and expertise we have in our teaching staff in the Primary school and Early Learning Centre.”
