Description:
At Currambena we are committed to providing an
alternative to mainstream education developing
all aspects of each child. We routinely
incorporate valid theories in education, child
development and conflict resolution to
complement our rich experience of providing
alternative education. Our philosophical
approach to education is based on a commitment
to:
The joyful pursuit of lifelong learning: We
believe there is no restriction on what children
can learn. Our curriculum gives emphasis to
academic, social, emotional and physical aspects
of children’s development.
Celebrating the uniqueness of each child: Each
child’s learning is meaningful, creative and
intrinsically valued without being compared to
others.
Developing a nurturing community to support
children’s development: Learning goes on inside
and outside the classroom at Currambena and we
work to create a caring and safe community that
respects, trusts and treasures each individual
child. In turn children actively contribute to
the school and develop a sense of belonging to a
community.
Supporting our professional educators so they
can promote learning with energy and passion:
The teachers earn the respect of the parents and
children through their commitment, dedication,
skills and educational expertise. They develop
close and personal relationships with each
child, involving them in sharing decisions about
their own learning.
Honouring the role of parents: Parents are
respected as the child’s first teachers. Their
contribution to every aspect of the school is
highly valued.
Teaching and modelling effective communications:
We empower children with communication skills so
that they can learn to take responsibility for
themselves, to cooperate with others and to
effectively resolve conflicts.
