Early Learning Centre

Bush School

We take full advantage of our Early Learning Centre’s unique position adjoining Perth’s beautiful Lake Claremont. This means offering an authentic nature play programme, including Bush School and Bush Art. 

When we take learning outside the classroom, the benefits are countless. By encouraging mess, investigation and play, we allow our students to tap into their imagination and unlock their senses. 

Student-centred teaching

We merge the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, a globally recognised curriculum, with the student-centred, experiential principles of the Reggio Emilia approach. 

Our Early Learning Centre teachers observe each child's play, listen to their questions and discover what interests them. Then, teachers can create opportunities to explore students’ passions. Every child develops the foundations for pre-literacy and pre-numeracy, fuelling their love of learning. 

Music making

Studies show that daily music-making is a powerful tool for brain development in young people. Aside from the profound learning opportunities it offers, playing music helps students improve cognitive function and better understand their emotions.

We are proud to offer our Sing to Learn programme in our Early Learning Centre. Our specialist music staff teac h all students to play instruments and sing together, recognising that the process is the most important part.  

An attentive approach

We regularly assess your child's skills in a range of areas to help us tailor their learning programme.

All children are also screened by our Speech Pathologist and Occupational Therapist, so we can identify any underlying issues that may need attention early.
