About Me

  1. In addition to our core curriculum, we provide specialist learning programs in the areas of Arts, Language, and Sport. We support students in their learning through education support and academic extension programs. Through our sports program, children experience a variety of sports from cricket to soccer. They are allowed to develop their skills and sportsmanship by participating in inter-school competitions across the government and private sectors. After school opportunities range from sport to science and encourage children to continue learning and consolidate skills in a fun environment; throughout our curriculum, and by way of positive role modeling and working closely with families, we endeavor to instill in our student's positive social values that will enable them to become successful, supportive and caring members of our society.

  2. Phillip Island Village School uses the Victorian Curriculum as the basis for its academic program. The school’s Philosophy and Guiding Principles outline the broader framework in which teaching and learning occur. The school’s approach has been developed and refined at Koonwarra Village School. The two schools are managed separately, but staff and students regularly work together. Our 2016 Annual Report overviews the activities and programs that occurred in our inaugural year. Our 2017 Annual Report captures the activities and programs as they progressed for our second year of operation. At PIVS, we believe self-actualization is best achieved through freedom. Internal freedom - in thought and expression, within an environment free from overbearing authority, externally imposed rules, and unnecessarily prescriptive courses of study. Such freedoms are provided within the context of a healthy and functional school community and positive engagement with society at large. This requires a balance between effective self-management and responsibility. There are three critical aspects of our school culture that are interwoven with freedom and responsibility. These will support students in their journey towards living fully conscious and meaningful lives. The first of these is social and emotional intelligence – allowing students to know themselves, have empathy with others, and communicate effectively. The second is autonomy and shared decision-making – ongoing opportunities to practice making decisions that affect each individual personally and the broader school community. The third is connection – to nature, people, and the rhythms of life – through real-life activities such as spending times in all forms of nature, learning from a wide range of people – younger and older and engaging in celebrations and rituals that reflect important events in their lives. While some of these critical aspects may seem like a significant distance from the emphasis of conventional schooling, they reflect a subtle yet profound shift in priorities. These priorities are our response to a changing world more quickly than ever before, a future that will require highly adaptive survival strategies in conditions that will provide new and wide-ranging possibilities. PIVS will facilitate this unique educational experience within government requirements relating to schools and incorporate the best of current knowledge about teaching and learning. View full school

  4. Village School exists to fill an alternative niche in the educational market place. We have a 'small school' policy and a commitment to having a maximum of 20 children to one teacher in our home-groups to realize our philosophical and educational aims fully. We are also committed to maintaining our animal farm and wetlands environment so that 'real life' work experiences are an integral part of the daily curriculum. We aim to delight and inspire young children to be resourceful, independent learners and to discover and learn in a supportive, caring environment. We celebrate individual differences while at the same time encouraging children to develop an awareness of their place in Australian society and the global community. We want them to understand their role in supporting and caring for each other, living creatures, and the natural environment. Village School chooses to be an independent, non-sectarian, and non-denominational primary school having no specific affiliations with any other educational establishment or educational system. Village School is an independent, non-sectarian, and non-denominational primary school having no specific affiliations with any other educational establishment or educational system. Our educational philosophy is underpinned by the concept of liberalism and tolerance and promotes humanitarian concerns such as inclusiveness, equity, and universal rights. It follows that Village School does not endorse or favor any particular religious, cultural, or political belief but prefers to consider and compare all ideas and doctrines in the spirit of intellectual inquiry. The need for Village School was conceptualized in late 1981 after three teachers (and members of the Education Reform Association) Carol Glover, Lola Hill, and Trevor Stasey confirmed their disillusionment with the prevailing structure. The teachers started Village School in 1982 with a leased residence on the Maroondah Highway, Ringwood (owned by Penguin Books). After two years on the site, it was decided to relocate to afford students more space and the school the possibility of growth. During this time, the teachers considered the current site at 9-13 Holloway Road ( which borders Wonga Park and Croydon North). They were successful in securing a bank loan with a government guarantee, and with Croydon Council approving the school for an enrolment of 240 students from prep to year 10, Village School came to occupy its present site. We begin with the hypothesis that any subject can be taught in an intellectually honest form to any child at any development stage. It is a bold hypothesis and an essential one in thinking about the nature of the curriculum. Today, this school style is known as a 'democratic school,' awarding students with the responsibilities of running their school alongside their teachers. It means that at Village School, the children have a voice and are heard. View full school

Village teachers are engaged teachers. They do not merely provide superior instruction. They inspire, they stimulate, and they lead.

  9. Hawarden Village Church School has a tradition of achieving high standards and fostering a happy and hardworking atmosphere based on sound interpersonal relationships. We will constantly strive to create a school environment, which is caring and stable. The school values self-discipline and respect for others. Goals that can be realized best when pupils, teachers, and parents work together for the common good. May I emphasize that you as parents are always welcome to visit the school to discuss any aspects of school life? “Serving our local community by providing exceptional learning experiences founded on Christian Values” We aim to serve our local community by providing a welcoming and caring environment supported by efficient and well-organized systems. Our school is enhanced by its partnerships with parents, the local community, and the church. We provide exceptional learning experiences by continuously reviewing our practice to ensure that children are excited and challenged by learning. We provide a curriculum that is creative and supports all children in developing the skills they need to be successful learners. We are an inclusive school and aim to provide the very best care and education for every child. As a church school, we are all committed to treating others with respect and compassion. “Love your neighbor as yourself” is the message which influences all personal relationships in our school. We aim to be a happy, caring community where every adult and child is valued and supported in being the best they can be. We welcome families of all faiths and no faith to our happy and supportive school. Our aim for each child is that they should develop a wide range of skills in literacy, numeracy, IT, and thinking skills. They should be able to apply these skills in many different subjects and contexts, helping them become increasingly independent learners.
  10. In all we do we aim to display... Love, Kindness, Joy, Self-Control, and Faithfulness. Our Christian values permeate the life of the school. As we go through the day the children and adults aim to live out these values, deepening their meaning and showing them in many practical ways. We ensure that diversity and difference are celebrated. Each week we spend time together as a school celebrating those children who have particularly shown these values in their attitude and behavior at school. We celebrate the children being punctual and having overall good attendance too and a prize is given for best punctuality and also best attendance. The Reception classes follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. Your child will mostly be taught through games and play. The areas of learning are: Communication and language Physical development Personal, social, and emotional development Literacy Mathematics Understanding the world Expressive arts and design We follow the National Curriculum 2014. The curriculum has been mapped out across Years One and Two and each term we follow a topic that helps to scaffold the learning. Children develop quickly in the early years, and early years practitioners aim to do all they can to help children have the best possible start in life. Children have a right, spelled out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, to a provision that enables them to develop their personalities, talents, and abilities irrespective of ethnicity, culture or religion, home language, family background, learning difficulties, disabilities or gender. This guidance helps adults to understand and support each child’s development pathway. Children are born ready, able, and eager to learn. They actively reach out to interact with other people, and in the world around them. Development is not an automatic process, however. It depends on each unique child having opportunities to interact in positive relationships and enabling environments. From Reception to Year 2 we use a wonderful resource called Numicon which enables the children to build an understanding of the concept of number. We use the Letters and Sounds scheme for teaching phonics. We find this a systematic program and a great basis for teaching children the phonics children require for reading and writing. We use our teaching expertise and other resources to bring these lessons to life whilst following a format for teaching that enables all children to make progress. We use several reading schemes and a series of books. For Guided Reading in class, we plan mainly from the Rigby Star and Big Cat series of books. The Religious Education at Dulwich Village C of E Infants' School is an integral and vital element to the curriculum. It is best summarised through the words from the Southwark Diocese Board of Education: "Religious Education (RE) is not just an academic subject, but, lies at the very heart of the curriculum and has an important role in reflecting and conveying the distinctively Christian character of the school.

We appreciate the contribution the school grounds can provide, together with potential stimulating additional learning. We have developed a wildlife garden with chickens and a pond. We also promote a healthy lifestyle of regular exercise together with an awareness of healthy eating choices. We provide swimming, gymnastics and many sports and dance school clubs. Our school has made a substantial investment in ICT. All our classrooms have interactive whiteboards all children have access to laptops connected via a wireless network Under The Department for Education, we aim to actively promote British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races, and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law. On our Britannia Village Primary School learning journey, we aim to provide a creative, stimulating and happy environment where achievement, mutual respect, and self-esteem are valued. At each twist and turn we aim for our pupils to develop crucial skills, attitudes, talents, knowledge, and understanding to assist their continuing growth in a changing world drawing upon our staff, parents, and the local community to guide our pupils towards and beyond the next step of their journey.

  13. We offer a beautiful haven for children to develop their inner potential and their unique capacities. As a Waldorf School, our approach to education is based on and appropriate for each developmental phase of childhood and encourages the child’s sense of truth, beauty, and goodness. We aim to inspire a lifelong love of learning in our children and a secure sense of their place in our community. We have an experienced committed teachers’ body that is dedicated to our children - working towards creating an inner enthusiasm for learning and encouraging motivation to naturally arise from within. Our teachers realize the importance of recognizing that a child is essentially a spiritual being consisting of the three faculties of willing, feeling, and thinking. Our teachers strive to acknowledge and nurture every aspect of the child through a methodology and curriculum infused with artistic activities. In the Waldorf classroom subject matter is introduced to children through stories and the arts. Through music drama, drawing, and painting, otherwise dry information becomes alive and is experienced deeply by the child. As a result, Waldorf students develop a lifelong love for learning. Waldorf teachers strive to transform education into an art that educates the whole child. Three levels of learning take place during a lesson. First, there is the cognitive level at which creative, critical and independent thinking is developed in a manner in harmony with the developmental phases of the learners. Secondly, the affective level at which more subjective, feeling-based learning is possible allowing the student to relate to the subject and others through sensitive interaction. Thirdly the student is engaged on a motivational/psycho-motor level at which the active, engaging will of the learner is stimulated and developed. This approach results in students developing the necessary capacities in their thinking, feeling, and willingness to take their place as fully functional adults in this world and to lead a life that is deeply meaningful and fulfilling. The young child learns through absorbing what is around him or her and imitating what he or she sees. The pre-school teacher strives to create a welcoming, harmonious environment in which the child can safely discover the world. As children learn through unconscious imitation, the teacher strives to permeate all her actions seen by the child with logic and kindness. The pre-school child lives easily in the imagination, making this a good place from which to start learning. Free play gives the child an opportunity to develop social skills and act out fundamental life tasks. Here the teacher can step in and direct play to create healthy interaction as needed. Creative play is considered the best preparation for self-realizing adult life. During the child’s first seven years, a lot of energy is spent physically growing. Co-ordination and well-developed senses are the foundation for intellectual development. Children love to explore what their bodies are capable of: balancing on thin pieces of wood, swinging in a tree, playing with a beanbag, etc. The morning circle gives children the opportunity to act out stories and rhymes and to improve their language. The activities of the pre-school follow a strong daily and weekly rhythm. Hands are kept busy and sense nurtured through water-color painting, drawing, doing simple crafts and modeling with beeswax, baking, and walking in the beautiful nature that surrounds our school. The natural rhythm of the year, the seasons, influence all our activities and help to create wonder in the child for the mysteries of the world… which in turn helps to inspire a life-long love of learning. In Waldorf schools, primary education may begin when the child is nearing or already seven years of age. The primary school centers around a multi-disciplinary arts-based curriculum that includes visual arts, drama, vocal and instrumental music, crafts, and when possible, artistic movement (eurhythmy). Throughout the primary years, concepts are first introduced through stories and images, and academic instruction is integrated with the visual and plastic arts (using materials that can be molded in some way, usually beeswax), music, and movement. There is little reliance on standardized textbooks instead, each child creates his or her own illustrated summary of coursework in book form. The school day generally starts with a two-hour academic lesson that focuses on a single theme throughout about a month and generally begins with an introduction that may include singing, instrumental music, recitations of poetry, including a verse written by Steiner for the start of a school day, and practice in mathematics and language arts. An objective of most Waldorf schools is to have a single teacher remain with a class throughout the primary school years, teaching at least the principal academic lessons Waldorf teachers have been cited for their level of personal commitment to their pupils. Waldorf teachers use the concept of the four temperaments to help interpret, understand and relate to the behavior and personalities of children under their tutelage. The temperaments, choleric, phlegmatic, melancholic, and sanguine, are thought to express four basic personality types, each possessing its fundamental way of regarding and interacting with the world.

  16. Phillip Island Village School uses the Victorian Curriculum as the basis for its academic program. The school’s Philosophy and Guiding Principles outline the broader framework in which teaching and learning occur. The school’s approach has been developed and refined at Koonwarra Village School. The two schools are managed separately, but staff and students regularly work together. Our 2016 Annual Report overviews the activities and programs that occurred in our inaugural year. Our 2017 Annual Report captures the activities and programs as they progressed for our second year of operation. At PIVS, we believe self-actualization is best achieved through freedom. Internal freedom - in thought and expression, within an environment free from overbearing authority, externally imposed rules, and unnecessarily prescriptive courses of study. Such freedoms are provided within the context of a healthy and functional school community and positive engagement with society at large. This requires a balance between effective self-management and responsibility. There are three critical aspects of our school culture that are interwoven with freedom and responsibility. These will support students in their journey towards living fully conscious and meaningful lives. The first of these is social and emotional intelligence – allowing students to know themselves, have empathy with others, and communicate effectively. The second is autonomy and shared decision-making – ongoing opportunities to practice making decisions that affect each individual personally and the broader school community. The third is connection – to nature, people, and the rhythms of life – through real-life activities such as spending times in all forms of nature, learning from a wide range of people – younger and older and engaging in celebrations and rituals that reflect important events in their lives. While some of these critical aspects may seem like a significant distance from the emphasis of conventional schooling, they reflect a subtle yet profound shift in priorities. These priorities are our response to a changing world more quickly than ever before, a future that will require highly adaptive survival strategies in conditions that will provide new and wide-ranging possibilities. PIVS will facilitate this unique educational experience within government requirements relating to schools and incorporate the best of current knowledge about teaching and learning.
  17. In addition to our core curriculum, we provide specialist learning programs in the areas of Arts, Language, and Sport. We support students in their learning through education support and academic extension programs. Through our sports program, children experience a variety of sports from cricket to soccer. They are allowed to develop their skills and sportsmanship by participating in inter-school competitions across the government and private sectors. After school opportunities range from sport to science and encourage children to continue learning and consolidate skills in a fun environment; throughout our curriculum, and by way of positive role modeling and working closely with families, we endeavor to instill in our student's positive social values that will enable them to become successful, supportive and caring members of our society.

Relationships are integral to the learning journey and students have the opportunity to work with several Mentors during the week as this allows the children to connect with a range of adults in different ways and form a wide variety of relationships. The Triskel students have also been able to select a Personal Mentor mentor with who the students feel comfortable communicating about any aspect of their school life. The Personal Mentor is the Mentor that predominantly helps the student manage their learning strategies, sets goals to develop their executive skills, and supports them in any social ‘bumps’.

We believe that children's education should reflect this vision. VLA will bring the experiences and skills of students into the learning process. Our students will respect all people's dignity while preserving their ethnic and cultural heritage and will engage in service-learning to reinforce classroom concepts. VLA will use our collective knowledge, best educational practices, relevant data, and regular assessment to shape our curriculum and instruction.

A class period just ended, and another will begin shortly. You walk down our hallways; students are in deep conversations with each other—a biology experiment, a physics problem, a math equation, perhaps history—real conversations. You enter a classroom. You see, a student and teacher having an authentic dialogue about a lesson and how aspects of the lesson apply to our larger world. You notice the relationships between students and teachers. Village teachers are engaged teachers. They do not merely provide superior instruction. They inspire, they stimulate, and they lead. Our rigorous academic curriculum, high-quality teaching, and excellent facilities support every student's learning journey throughout the school. Academics are complemented by a variety of clubs and our inspiring field trips that provoke a broader, encompassing connection to classroom learning.
  21. Village School exists to fill an alternative niche in the educational market place. We have a 'small school' policy and a commitment to having a maximum of 20 children to one teacher in our home-groups to realize our philosophical and educational aims fully. We are also committed to maintaining our animal farm and wetlands environment so that 'real life' work experiences are an integral part of the daily curriculum. We aim to delight and inspire young children to be resourceful, independent learners and to discover and learn in a supportive, caring environment. We celebrate individual differences while at the same time encouraging children to develop an awareness of their place in Australian society and the global community. We want them to understand their role in supporting and caring for each other, living creatures, and the natural environment. Village School chooses to be an independent, non-sectarian, and non-denominational primary school having no specific affiliations with any other educational establishment or educational system. Village School is an independent, non-sectarian, and non-denominational primary school having no specific affiliations with any other educational establishment or educational system. Our educational philosophy is underpinned by the concept of liberalism and tolerance and promotes humanitarian concerns such as inclusiveness, equity, and universal rights. It follows that Village School does not endorse or favor any particular religious, cultural, or political belief but prefers to consider and compare all ideas and doctrines in the spirit of intellectual inquiry. The need for Village School was conceptualized in late 1981 after three teachers (and members of the Education Reform Association) Carol Glover, Lola Hill, and Trevor Stasey confirmed their disillusionment with the prevailing structure. The teachers started Village School in 1982 with a leased residence on the Maroondah Highway, Ringwood (owned by Penguin Books). After two years on the site, it was decided to relocate to afford students more space and the school the possibility of growth. During this time, the teachers considered the current site at 9-13 Holloway Road ( which borders Wonga Park and Croydon North). They were successful in securing a bank loan with a government guarantee, and with Croydon Council approving the school for an enrolment of 240 students from prep to year 10, Village School came to occupy its present site. We begin with the hypothesis that any subject can be taught in an intellectually honest form to any child at any development stage. It is a bold hypothesis and an essential one in thinking about the nature of the curriculum. Today, this school style is known as a 'democratic school,' awarding students with the responsibilities of running their school alongside their teachers. It means that at Village School, the children have a voice and are heard.

  24. Hawarden Village Church School has a tradition of achieving high standards and fostering a happy and hardworking atmosphere based on sound interpersonal relationships. We will constantly strive to create a school environment, which is caring and stable. The school values self-discipline and respect for others. Goals that can be realized best when pupils, teachers, and parents work together for the common good. May I emphasize that you as parents are always welcome to visit the school to discuss any aspects of school life? “Serving our local community by providing exceptional learning experiences founded on Christian Values” We aim to serve our local community by providing a welcoming and caring environment supported by efficient and well-organized systems.

We welcome families of all faiths and no faith to our happy and supportive school. Our aim for each child is that they should develop a wide range of skills in literacy, numeracy, IT, and thinking skills. They should be able to apply these skills in many different subjects and contexts, helping them become increasingly independent learners. View full school
  25. In all we do we aim to display... Love, Kindness, Joy, Self-Control, and Faithfulness. Our Christian values permeate the life of the school. As we go through the day the children and adults aim to live out these values, deepening their meaning and showing them in many practical ways. We ensure that diversity and difference are celebrated. Each week we spend time together as a school celebrating those children who have particularly shown these values in their attitude and behavior at school. We celebrate the children being punctual and having overall good attendance too and a prize is given for best punctuality and also best attendance. The Reception classes follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. Your child will mostly be taught through games and play. The areas of learning are: Communication and language Physical development Personal, social, and emotional development Literacy Mathematics Understanding the world Expressive arts and design We follow the National Curriculum 2014. The curriculum has been mapped out across Years One and Two and each term we follow a topic that helps to scaffold the learning. Children develop quickly in the early years, and early years practitioners aim to do all they can to help children have the best possible start in life. Children have a right, spelled out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, to a provision that enables them to develop their personalities, talents, and abilities irrespective of ethnicity, culture or religion, home language, family background, learning difficulties, disabilities or gender. This guidance helps adults to understand and support each child’s development pathway. Children are born ready, able, and eager to learn. They actively reach out to interact with other people, and in the world around them. Development is not an automatic process, however. It depends on each unique child having opportunities to interact in positive relationships and enabling environments. From Reception to Year 2 we use a wonderful resource called Numicon which enables the children to build an understanding of the concept of number. We use the Letters and Sounds scheme for teaching phonics. We find this a systematic program and a great basis for teaching children the phonics children require for reading and writing. We use our teaching expertise and other resources to bring these lessons to life whilst following a format for teaching that enables all children to make progress.
