Our Philosophy.

We believe children are competent, capable, and global citizens. Therefore, we endeavour to provide an authentic, sustainable, equitable, inspiriting, and inclusive environment that enables children to learn and flourish through risky, intentional, and spontaneous play and to develop dispositions to gain knowledge through a culture of enquiry and make meaning through the creative arts.

We are committed to fostering equitable, respectful, and reciprocal relationships and partnerships with children, families, educators, and the immediate and wider community to celebrate our strengths, to enjoy today and learn for tomorrow.

We are committed to providing safe quality learning environments developed through continuous critical reflection and ongoing professional development and supported by collaborative leadership, teamwork, and best practices.

We value sharing and learning knowledge about our local Aboriginal culture and acknowledge the Durrumbul people of the Bundjalung nation as the traditional custodians of the land, water, and sky. We pay respect to elders’ past, present and emerging.

“Play is not a precursor to learning; it is learning in its most natural form, focused, and meaningful form.” - Sally Haughey
