For Education Week in 2021, our theme is ‘Lifelong Learners’ and celebrates education as a lifelong journey from before a child enters an early childhood setting, progressing to primary and secondary school, and continuing their learning journey into adulthood; learning a trade, entering tertiary education, or the workforce.
Continuous learning is critical for success throughout life and everyone can be a lifelong learner.
Here are some special moments from the Early Stage One classes:

Students in kindy are explicitly taught phonics using a systematic approach. We are learning to produce different phonemes and can match phonemes to graphemes.
