Experience

We have over 50 years of combined teaching experience in Australia and across a number of International Schools,throughout Asia and Europe. Our experience is across all year levels and includes extensive experience in teaching multi aged classes.

Teaching style

We pride ourselves in knowing and understanding each child we teach and in ensuring learning focuses on individual needs. Our classrooms are rich in language, encompassing all areas of the curriculum. Spaces are inviting and engaging and are spaces where children can feel comfortable and safe. Parents are encouraged to celebrate and participate in their child's learning. In our classrooms students are active participants in the development of the learning program through both individual and group goal setting and evaluation processes. Our goal is for our students to become inquirers, critical thinkers and problem solvers.
