At Katandra we implement a whole school approach to Inquiry based learning every term. All classes engage in the same Unit of Inquiry, however the investigations, activities and learning outcomes are levelled and age appropriately targeted to the students across the school. The units of inquiry are planned to incorporate a rotation of the various learning domains from the Victorian Curriculum and have an integrated approach to include outcomes from multiple learning areas.

To ensure that there is a broad interest approach for students and a scope for all learning domains are covered throughout the year, Katandra School has a 6 year Unit of Inquiry Cycle that explores a number of interests and covers all learning domains for the students. The 6 year cycle can be seen below.

The focus domain for each inquiry is evident in the unit of inquiry term planners. Other domains are also easily integrated through the units to ensure connections are made to students learning outcomes.
