Early Learning
In our Early Years we are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) alongside our Early Years Philosophy which emphasises the principles and practices of best Early Childhood teaching and learning.
At Santa Clara School we understand that the early years lay the foundation for future growth and development, and we are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment that encourages exploration, discovery, and creativity.
In our Early Years we offer a whole school approach to Literacy learning through programs such as InitiaLit which is taught from Kindergarten to Year 2 and Talk4Writing a whole school writing program for years K – 6.
Kindergarten
At Santa Clara School student learning is guided by the Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines in conjunction with the Early Years Learning Framework and includes the National Quality School Standards. Our kindergarten students learn in a safe, happy and supportive learning environment. The high-quality program offered is a balance of explicit teaching and play based learning.
Kindergarten runs three days a week Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 8:45am to 2:50pm.
