At Active Learn, our approach centres on active learning. This isn’t about reviewing notes or memorising answers—it’s about engaging in a purposeful, goal-oriented study that promotes deep understanding rather than surface recall. We break down English into manageable parts and create custom study strategies for each student's unique needs.
Examples of active learning strategies include:
Each student will receive an Active Learn Study Menu, a set of weekly tasks to complete. This personalised approach encourages diligence, consistency, and real progress.

This focused environment doesn’t just help students achieve their academic best; it also fosters lifelong learning habits that benefit them far beyond the classroom.
A Balanced Approach
At Active Learn, we recognise that true academic success is tied to well-being. We encourage students to integrate rest and self-care into their routines by prioritising consistent sleep patterns, taking breaks, and finding time to recharge. Balance is vital to sustainable growth, a value we instil in all our students.
Looking Ahead
So whichever texts you are studying in Years 10 or 11 English or VCE English (Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard, Shirley Jackson’s We Have Always Lived In the Castle, or other texts from the VCE English booklist…..), we look forward to welcoming you into the Active Learn community! Join us for a learning experience that values active engagement, personal growth, and balanced achievement.
