Our Early Learning Centre is a purpose-built environment, designed for young children. It is an integral part of the Junior School experience and the beginning of a rich relationship with the School for our families.

A sense of belonging is at the centre of our ELC, where each child is valued and shaped by our school values, the Early Years Learning Framework and the International Baccalaureate鈥檚 Primary Years Program (IB PYP). These work harmoniously together, building on the child鈥檚 existing knowledge and experiences. Inquiry is used to explore a child鈥檚 thinking and harness their creativities, whilst intentional teaching supports the achievement of developmental milestones in cognition, social, emotional, physical and language domains.

Positive, trusting and enriching relationships are integral to the experience of all students, parents and teachers. These are lived every day in our ELC: students are family, and parents are our partners in guiding learning.

The ELC operates as a 5 day per week program from 8.25am 鈥� 2.50pm, throughout the four terms of the school year. Children who attend are aged 4 or turn 4 before the 30th April of the year that they commence. There are two classes with a teacher and qualified early childhood educator in each class. The program, also includes Music, Movement, Library, Spanish and Physical Education lessons conducted by a specialist team of teachers.
