OUR PROGRAM

​

Designed by our Early Childhood teacher using the assessment and planning cycle. The learning outcomes in our curriculum approach align with both The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines (QKLG). 
 

Using observations of the children while they are learning as well as the children’s own, family and staff goals for each child, we plan appropriate learning intentions and activities for individual, small and group activities. 
 

Our educators’ partner with all children and families to create caring and vibrant learning communities. Our curriculum has an anti-bias focus, which promotes inclusion, equity, respect, individual empowerment, and diversity. Our focus is to honour the child’s rights to play, learn and have fun to develop a love of their own learning journey.

OUR PHILOSOPHY



RELATIONSHIPS WITH CHILDREN

  • We are responsive to children's voices and reflect on their interests to further enhance their learning through play experiences

  • Our respectful and reciprocal relationships build a sense of well-being, inviting opportunities for learning and development.
     

RELATIONSHIPS WITH FAMILIES

  • Collaborative partnerships with families are essential to ensure high quality education and care for children.

  • We invite positive relationships with families, to ensure valuable input towards their children's learning and development.

  • We maintain our connections with families through verbal communication such as online sharing through Storypark.
     

Our community and the world around us

  • We explore community connections in our Centre through enriching incursions that deepen the children's knowledge and connection to their self-identity.

  • Educators strive to introduce and include opportunities to explore our community and Cultures within it.

Our educators provide for child autonomy and success through provision of a
play-based curriculum where intentional teaching guides and enhances each child’s learning and outcomes.

OUR STATEMENT OF COMMITMENT

Anglican Schools and Education & Care Services are committed to providing environments where children and young people receive the highest standard of care, where their rights are supported, and they have the opportunity to thrive and be fruitful. Such environments nurture and safeguard the intelligence, dignity, safety and wellbeing of each child or young person, by placing them at the centre of thought, values and actions.

 

As reflected in our Ethos, our vocation is education, driven by a vision of humanity, shaped by the image of God made visible in Jesus, present in every human being.

  • Every child: made in the image and likeness of God.

  • Every child: loveable and loved, unique and unrepeatable.

  • Outstanding education for the flourishing of people and the good of community.

 

Our faith is lived.

We are hospitable and welcoming communities, who embody compassion, kindness, fairness, justice and love, and where exceptional pastoral care is practised. Working and serving the best interests of children and young people is in everyone’s best interest. This is achieved through sustaining living and learning environments that are safe, supportive and stimulating.

 

Specifically, we:

  • place emphasis on genuine engagement with children and young people;

  • create conditions that reduce the likelihood of harm to children and young people;

  • create conditions that increase the likelihood of identifying harm; and

  • respond to any concerns, disclosures, allegations or suspicions.

 

This commitment is sought to be consistently reflected through the decisions and behaviour of all persons within the School or Service, who are guided by effective governance, policies, tools and processes. This fosters a child safe culture, where acting in children and young people’s best interests is at the heart of what we do.
