Philosophy
Our Philosophy
“The primary and most urgent requirement in any community is the promotion of education of children”
We are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and the vision of the Council of Australian Governments that “all children have the best possible start in life in order to create a better future for themselves and the nation.”
We acknowledge that Indigenous Australians are the Traditional Custodians of this land.
We recognise the reciprocal influence and contribution of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Our objective is to promote a global ethic that can infuse the fairness and responsibility in children and broaden their educational horizons.
We believe that the goal of education of children must be laying the foundations of a noble and upright character, empowering them to direct their energies towards the advancement of civilisation.
