Work better together
Co-ed environments facilitate mutual respect. They expose children to different viewpoints, and in some ways can help positively challenge gender-based stereotypes.
At Pecanwood Private School, we believe that a co-ed school encourages students’ self-esteem and social skills. It prepares students for the real world as it teaches boys and girls how to interact with each other. We are broadening the minds of our students and showing them the different types of attitudes and behaviours that are seen in both genders so that it can prepare themselves for survival in the working world.
This co-ed setting ultimately prepares them for a diverse world where both genders play significant roles. Here are four ways a co-ed environment positively affects your child.
School Diversity
Our independent co-ed day and boarding school operates from Grade 0000 to Grade 12. We provide a dynamic, happy learning environment that’s supported by a Christian-based value system.
At Pecanwood Private School, we have students from different walks of life and backgrounds, and thus, we encourage respect and tolerance from our students, from a young age. Our girls and boys become classmates from their first day, exposing them to diversity at a younger age. This will make it easier for them to adapt to different environments later in their lives.
An experienced House Master and Mistress lead our co-ed boarding school. They provide a warm and comfortable environment, to help teach independence, discipline and build the strength of character. We believe that a co-ed environment mimics the real world.
In most businesses and community activities people need to know how to interact with each other, so by our students having already being in a co-ed environment it helps them to learn how to collaborate, solve problems and resolve conflicts with both genders.
Teaching of Equality
“Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.” - UN.org
Both genders deserve equal opportunities in the world that they live in.
Our outstanding facilities and qualified, dedicated teachers offer passion and enthusiasm to reach each child in a sensitive and caring manner. We can give our learners individual attention because of our student to teacher ratio. We can identify the strengths and weaknesses of each learner and customise learning methods accordingly.
Children who are identified to have learning difficulties are offered in-class support by their teachers, as well as extra lessons after school. Specific areas that require intervention are referred to on-site or nearby therapists, to ensure that no child is left behind.
1. Promoting Socialisation
The reality of the world is that both male and female co-exist outside the learning environment. From the classroom to the playground, our students are learning how to co-exist, daily. At our school, we offer a wide range of extracurricular activities that both genders are encouraged to participate in.
From sports, music rooms and art studios, our students are continually co-existing with one another. They’re getting a better understanding of the purpose of human interaction and the importance of networking. Ultimately, our students are learning the values of socialising, interacting and creating lifelong bonds.
2. Preparing Students for The Real World
At Pecanwood Private school, we prepare students for life. We do this by presenting opportunities for learners to develop their self-confidence.
By motivating our students to interact with both genders, we enable them to integrate into college, and the workplace efficiently. A co-ed environment provides students with the ability to experience different thought processes, learning styles, humor, and other unique approaches to life through both genders.
This can teach valuable skills in relationship building, and we believe that learning about one another is what will help our students prosper in the big world out there.
At Pecanwood Private School, we not only equip students for their academic future, but also give them the practice they need to master their everyday social skills.
By enabling students to learn together in a co-ed classroom, we promote diversity, equality, socialisation and the ultimate preparation for the real world. We teach students how to interact with one another with dignity and respect. Both men and women contribute to our society in equally significant ways; thus, we should always recognise and celebrate each other’s greatness.
