Core Learning
We recognise how self-identity; context rich and respectful accounts of children’s strengths and interests can be interwoven to provide a curriculum that is rich and meaningful to our community of young learners.
Thinking Skills
We believe that when children are curious, they explore, ask questions, and solve problems with greater persistence and commitment. Our educators facilitate higher order thinking skills, such as creative and critical thinking, hypothesising and enquiring to further enrich our children’s learning.
Sustainable Practices
We recognise and respond to the importance of embedding sustainable practices in our curriculum. We are committed to nurturing the minds of the next generation to be sustainable thinkers who are conscientious and environmentally minded.
