**1. The priorities and actions for the MLC Learning Principles activities**
Additional pedagogical principles raised in our discussions.
 * //Pedagogy needs to be evolving and constantly redefined.//
 * //There needs to be a strong focus on skill development for life.//
 * //Must be globally intuitive//
 * //Pedagogy needs to be relevant and predicated to student's own interests and needs//
 * //Experiential rather than solely based on theory//
 * //Fun and fulfillment needs to be embedded//

//Our priorities//
 * 1) Co-developed and constructed curriculum - students and teachers collaborating
 * 2) Deep learning - this requires procedures that enable reflection time and evaluation
 * 3) Globally intuitive curriculum - we need to be problem finders that are able to put our skills/talents to be of service to others.

2. The key suggestions/contributions of the Enquiry Maps
//Practical applications of principles//
 * Interdependent inquiry - creating research projects that value assistance from a community of inquiry- peers and experts where all demonstrate assistance gained and given to others' independent projects.
 * Showing discernment as an outcome.--- links to Learning Designs will foster independent and interdependent inquiry.
 * Factor in time for discussion as an outcome in itself which reduces 'content teaching' time. This validates the process in which learning is made manifest.
 * Create relationships with international networks --- globally intuitive
 * Involve learners in planning curriculum outcomes and present their knowledge accordingly - designed and delivered collaboratively

//Where to find best practice and learn from their processes?//
 * Interesting to see how other schools market themselves
 * Investigate other schools such as the Northern Beaches school
 * Visit other facilities such as universities, museums, archives to observe their processes.
 * Observe where kids are natural learners- preschools? Online games?
 * 'Where do we think we might find best practice?'

//Issues/questions to investigate//
 * How do we maintain our integrity and values whilst learning from others?
 * What do parents and students want from learning at MLC?
 * Can we be everything to everyone?
 * Do we need to have a 'niche market'?
 * What is the life span of that 'competitive edge'?

//Challenges we might face//
 * School Culture(s)
 * Parental expectations
 * Financial concerns including government funding
 * Traditions including religious
 * Time related issues and scheduling. (including timetabling)
 * Governing bodies- eg school council,
 * 'How do we measure success on this competitive edge?'
 * Be prepared to take risks- acknowledge short term losses for long term gain

//Who has the expertise to help refine our process?//
 * Professional presentations
 * Staff and student exchanges ti other schools/organisations
 * Forming partnerships with Corporations and NGOs

//What innovations/experiments would test this out?//
 * Continue to build on existing innovations
 * Survey the market
 * Abolish 'Silos' - department staffrooms
 * Change structure of the day, flexible hours
 * Further develop Prototypes of cross curricular integrated units ie INK, Enlightenment, Legacy
 * Developing learning Communities for staff and students

//How do we involve parents/ community//
 * Garner their support and involvement in the learning journey
 * Surveys
 * New ways to communicate- teleconferencing
 * Engage different cultural supports ie interpreters
 * Share every success
 * Be transparent in processes.
 * Community services

//To whom do we present our findings// //.//
 * All the stakeholders
