Campion Education

Campion Education focuses on supplying education resources– which includes printed, digital and stationery resources- to schools in all sectors (including Sydney private schools). What can be learned from their model is the ease they provide to parents and students by catering to all their academic resources needs under one roof. Instead of making the parents run to different shops and retailers in the city to get their child’s educational supplies, everything can be quickly delivered to their homes by the publishers and reliable distributors. 

Let’s look at how having these resources as part of the learning process can help students and parents enhance the quality of education in Australia and provide an efficient, modern way of teaching. 

Supporting the academic and personal growth of students

Having digitally integrated services for all students in the school helps the environment by reducing the dependence on the use of paper and providing an economical means of accessing all the resources (on the student’s laptop or tablet). Apart from this, there are other resources as well that can support the growth of each student individually: 

• As most NSW schools use books in their curriculum from a wide range of publishers, it can get difficult for parents and students to identify authentic education resources to access those books. They also have to commute to far off places to access these books and stationery. All this time should be focused on their academic progress and not running after books which are sometimes out of stock by the time they get to the shop. If these things are provided under one roof, students can focus on their growth instead 
• They have also devised a system to connect students and teachers under one digital system- this has all the digital resources, the database, lesson plans, and timetables included. Learning in the classroom can get much easier when all the services are provided under one secured connection. All students are connected and share ideas. They can even annotate on the notes and books and share it with others- which is the main advantage of the Learning Management System 
• Sometimes in a particular maths or science class, a specific kind of stationery apparatus is required to complete the assignment or exam. This can set alarms among the students because no one knows where to order it from or get it at an affordable price. These things can be provided by one service and the hassle is reduced- again, providing students more time to focus on their learning 
• Updating libraries with the latest and most informative children’s books is a task that most librarians struggle with. Identifying the most useful books is something that is already provided by the services of this company and complete bundles can be ordered by the librarians  

Partnering with schools and educators to enhance the learning experience

Supplying education resources and digital learning systems to schools is just one part of facilitating education in Australia. There are also other things that can be done that facilitate education for underprivileged and talented students. These kind of partnerships can be in the form of helping the following kinds of institutions: 

• Literacy programs for underprivileged children:  These are charity organisations that help children in remote communities by providing them relevant education resources and letting them express their stories 

• Organisations who support gifted children with their secondary education: Due to social and financial barriers, gifted students do not complete their grade 11 and 12 education. Such organisations can help them get to the next step in the ladder and progress

• Businesses that provide eLearning and content creation tools: If educators and students are able to create beautiful and meaningful digital content (videos, animations, posters, etc.) it can really help children memorise and understand concepts

• Book suppliers for libraries: Curating books is simplified for school librarians by partnering with suppliers who can identify the latest and trending books for children’s learning and educational aids 

Incorporating technology and innovative teaching practices into the classroom

There are many ways to introduce technology into lesson plans in order to speed up the learning process of students and respect their individual learning styles: 

• Finding games that are relevant to the content of he course and then adding an element of competition into the classroom is extremely effective 
• Social media groups for certain discussions and sharing useful media can make students think about coursework when they are scrolling for fun 
• Updating classroom calendars for assignments, exams and lessons keeps everyone informed 
• Imagine teaching geography about a certain landscape and the students can actually view the place with Google street view and explore on their own. Visualisation adds interest and makes students remember the lecture 
• Using smart boards to share the digital content and make the note taking process much easier as it is integrated with the learning management system. This technology makes the whole process interactive and collaborative
