Our new Mission Statement and Core Values

Thank you so much to all the families, teachers and community members who have contributed to our amazing Mission Statement and Core Values!  

Mission Statement
We work with families to grow children who are happy, independent and secure in themselves.

We do this by nurturing our children and their learning through respectful and reflective practice, creative inquiry and engaging with our unique natural environment.

Core Values 

Creative Inquiry
We believe that children should be free to explore their interests in a way that evolves without predetermined outcomes, and that child-led discovery enables creativity and learning that is shaped collaboratively.

Fun-loving
We are committed to creating an environment where children have the freedom and security to be themselves and where happiness and fun are highly valued.

Respectful
We believe in showing thoughtful awareness in our interactions and communication with all people and the environment.

Reflective Practice
We are committed to ensuring that there is consideration, planning and review supporting children’s explorative play, with a comprehensive understanding and demonstration of best practice.

Catchup!!!

What an amazing start to 2013 we have had with this beautiful summer weather. We have learnt lots about keeping safe in the sun, at the beach, and around water. The children, parents, and teachers enjoyed a swim at the Leigh School pool, where we were very lucky to have one of our Mum's Jade join us who is a swimming instructor. Jade made the swimming experience lots of fun encouraging us to blow bubbles under water and to kick our legs. As a community we have had to be very conservative as our water tanks suffered but this has also made for more learning conversations with the children around this precious resource.

Our AGM was held on 27th March. This was a very successful evening with lots of parents and community members attending. We look forward to the year ahead with such supportive and passionate committee members. Our next committee meeting is 17th April at the new time of 7pm.

Term 1 ends Friday the 19th April.
Term 2 begins Monday 6th May.

Thank you to our amazing learning community x
