Future-focused Skills

Emphasis is placed on gross and fine motor, perceptual, cognitive, language and numeracy development. Thinking skills are honed, and students are encouraged to explore a variety of options when problem-solving to discover a workable solution. Through thinking routines, we teach our students to question and form opinions, which are expressed through:


  • discussion and reflection;
  • voice, choice, and ownership of learning
  • drawing;
  • painting and creating; and
  • role play and dramatisation. 

Personalised Learning Journey

Our holistic approach to education encourages our students to become fully rounded, unique individuals through a personalised learning journey.

Meaningful Play
