Early Years
In Early Years we have an enthusiastic team of staff who delight in providing an exciting learning program for our younger students. They focus on establishing routines, expectations and skills that are needed to be a great learner. We follow the Victorian Curriculum in all Early Years classes.
In English all students work on their letters and sounds and are introduced to writing, experiencing a range of text types. All classes have weekly whole class speech sessions with our Speech Therapist, which builds the foundation for our Oral Language Programs. Early Years students also “Get Knowledge Ready” (GKR) in reading. This process gets students’ brains ready to draw out prior knowledge and get ready to take on new information.
In Maths students work on skills required for life. They start the session with a game to consolidate number sense, then complete open-ended activities which require them to work both within a group and independently. Classes then reflect on the learning which has occurred and strategies students have used.
Wellbeing is a major focus in Early Years. Students participate in weekly meditation sessions, Zones of Regulation and Rights, Resilience and Respectful Relationships (RRRR).
Classrooms participate in 'Investigations' across the Early Years to encourage learning through play. Students lead the direction of their own learning by selecting activities of interest. Staff then build on this learning through targeted teaching moments.
Along with these core areas, students in the Early Years are offered a range of other programs including cooking, community participation, swimming, sensory, speech, gardening, Digital Technologies, Science, PE, Huff n Puff, Art and Music.
