Through inquiry, your Kindergarten child will bring ideas to the learning process and work with the support and guidance of teachers to seek answers, creatively solve problems and challenge his or her thinking. They deepen their understanding of concepts and apply and develop skills and knowledge across all domains of learning as they work cooperatively and collaboratively with others.
Language and literacy learning focuses on writing and reading as well as on speaking and listening, and the bilingual, inquiry approach provides a context for meaningful opportunities to engage with both English and Chinese each day.
Mathematical, scientific and technological learning is embedded in our inquiries as well as being taught to ensure that your child has the skills in place to approach inquiry learning independently. Time and money concepts are embedded in the inquiry processes and taught explicitly to support a smooth transition to primary school.
The Arts provide a conduit through which the children can express themselves; with learning invitations intentionally planned to capitalize on children’s curiosities and enhance their engagement. Specialist teachers support the Arts.
Your child will also be supported in his or her transition to formal schooling. Teachers assist families to prepare for the various primary school assessments and support children to adapt to the changes that come from being a member of a larger school community.
