Each month we welcome families to Blue Gum Community School, to tour our Preschool spaces and find out about our educational program and approach, specifically designed for our 3-5 year olds. This two year Preschool Program naturally leads our youngest learners into our Primary School, making the transition from Early Childhood into Primary a seamless one!
Inspired by the work of best-practice in early childhood and education globally (most especially by the thinking and provocation of the Educational Project in Reggio Emilia, Northern Italy), Blue Gum offers a Preschool Program that sees all children from the perspective of their strengths and positions them as significant and influential individuals within the dynamic of the group of learners. Supporting our students to develop holistically is a cornerstone of our practice, positioning the learning of empathy, self-regulation and collaboration, right alongside emerging skills in literacy, numeracy and the sciences. The arts are also a part of our everyday throughout the school, positioned as an essential element in how we all develop as humans, grow our understandings and communicate our ideas.
Framing all our work in the notion of research, our teachers see themselves as co-researchers with young children, coming alongside them the inquire about the world and to deepen thinking with each other. It is commonplace to hear students at Blue Gum sharing their theories and ideas with each other, bringing different perspectives into focus. Great attention in given at our school to the environment in which learning occurs. Our spaces are intentionally inspiring, beautiful and calm inviting connection, wonder and peace in a world that is too often defined by chaos and unnecessary 'busy and loud' places for young children.
And in all this - Blue Gum is a play of JOY! Laughter and connection is our normal, and rich relationships are at the heart of our culture.Being small, every child and family is known at Blue Gum as we work together to live community together every day!
Come and find out for yourself!
As enrolment in the Preschool is considered throughout the school year (dependent on when children turn 3), we offer these tours throughout the year for small groups or for individual families. As such, the date for this event is indicative only, the next available tour date needs to be confirmed with us directly.
To explore coming to visit with your child, please reach out to us directly, or fill out our free online Waiting List for your child and we'll be in touch.
