Learning Framework
Korowa Learning Framework (KLF)
At Korowa, we believe that how students learn is just as important as what they learn.
The Korowa Learning Framework guides how teaching and learning happen across the School. It reflects a simple but powerful understanding: students flourish when they feel motivated, supported and confident in themselves as learners.
This framework shapes classroom practice, relationships and learning experiences at every stage of a Korowa education.
Enrichment & Extension
Enrichment & Extension
Every Korowa student is encouraged to stretch beyond what they already know: to ask bigger questions, explore deeper ideas, and discover the joy of being intellectually and creatively challenged. Our Enrichment & Extension Program is designed to recognise each student’s potential and provide opportunities that nurture their talents, passions and ambitions.
This program sits at the heart of our learning philosophy. When girls feel supported, inspired and challenged, they achieve extraordinary things.

Korowa teachers know their students as individuals: their strengths, interests and goals. Through mentoring, ongoing assessment and strong communication with families, teachers adjust learning to support growth and challenge at the right level. Students are encouraged to take increasing ownership of their learning as they move through the school.
How do students choose subjects and pathways?
Students are guided through subject selection by teachers, mentors, careers staff and their families. In the Senior School, students can choose from a wide range of subjects and pathways that lead to VCE study. Information evenings, individual conversations and structured planning processes help students make confident, informed decisions about their future.
What is the Korowa Learning Framework?
The Korowa Learning Framework guides how teaching and learning happen across the school. It is grounded in research about motivation and wellbeing, recognising that students learn best when they experience autonomy, belonging and competence. This shared approach helps ensure learning is consistent, purposeful and focused on each student’s growth.
How does Korowa support students who need extension or additional support?
Korowa provides both enrichment and learning support across all year levels. Enrichment opportunities allow students to explore subjects in greater depth, while learning support staff work alongside classroom teachers to ensure students receive the guidance they need to succeed. The goal is for every student to feel challenged, supported and capable of progress.
How do teachers track student progress?
Teachers use a combination of formative assessment, feedback, classroom observation and data to monitor each student’s development over time. This information is shared through reports, conferences and conversations with families, ensuring a clear understanding of progress and next steps in learning.
