Our Vision
Together, we as a community nurture all of our children to reach their full potential and to become all that they can be.
Our Philosophy
- Giving children opportunities to develop important skills, build knowledge, master tasks and face challenges, they feel competent.
- Encouraging children to experience competence, they will gain confidence to navigate the world, think creatively, and recover from challenges.
- Connecting with others, children develop an essential sense of belonging, enabling them to feel secure and protected; providing the reassurance that allows them to stand on their own, develop creative solutions and empathise with others.
- Forging a fundamental sense of right and wrong, children with character enjoy a strong sense of acceptance, self-worth and confidence.
- Contributing to their communities, children gain confidence, feel valued and are more competent.
- Teaching children healthy strategies to cope effectively with life’s challenges, they are better prepared to overcome them.
- Developing competence, confidence, and strong connections with others, children will learn to make wise choices and feel a sense of control.
Our Centre
