Learning Streets ....

I visited the most amazing school last week. The Lakes School P - 9 in Sth Morang. It is based on the concept of "learning Streets" an adaptation of the 'open learning model'. You can read about it in The Age article of Feb 2007. Retired Educator John Whitford invited me over as his cluster was having an Expo. Principal Kerrie Heenan invited me back to spend a full day to talk to the kids and watch how it works in reality. It reminded of the sort of stuff St Leonards Cornish Campus is renowned for, but this is State Education.

Google "designing spaces for Effective Learning" to find an excellent pdf file on learning streest. Has anyone else heard of 'learning streets ?" Do we have anything like this operating in the Eastern Region ? I have seen MacLeod Secondary School's Impact Centre but again that is not Eastern.
