EDUCATION FEATURE
Values-based early learning FAMILIES in Mooloolah Valley and surrounds are embracing the values-based approach to early education offered by Out & About Care & Education. Since opening just over two years ago, the centre has become a trusted and valued part of the local community—even fielding a quiz night team in support of the local school. Out & About focuses on building strong family connections and meaningful relationships, nurturing children each day in a warm, supportive environment. The centre offers a variety of enriching, no-cost extra-curricular
activities. These include Happy Feet dance and movement with Gemma, The Recycle Man who teaches environmental care, calming yoga with Erika, and kindness sessions with Victoria from The Kindness Company. Out & About is proud to be growing thoughtful, capable, and communityminded children. The full-service centre caters for infants through to an Approved Free Kindergarten Program. Two experienced, longstanding teachers lead the Kindergarten program, delivering consistency and
expertise as they prepare children for Prep and beyond. The year has kicked off with strong enrolments, and most rooms are now full. A few spaces remain in the Kindergarten and 3–4-year-old rooms. Families needing care or extra days are encouraged to contact Gaylyn, Hayley or Pam soon to secure remaining places. Out & About is open 51 weeks a year, Monday to Friday from 6.30am to 6.30pm, supporting busy working families with the hours they need and the quality care they trust.
All subjects from the Australian Curriculum are taught in interesting and innovative ways to improve student learning outcomes incorporating technology to create digital citizens that are fully equipped with skills for their future.
Beerwah State School is still accepting enrolments. Enrolment interviews can be organised by contacting the school on 5436 5555.
Bright term ahead Learning, wellbeing and fun at Beerwah State School PRINCIPAL (Mr Scott Bowden) and staff at Beerwah State School are so excited to welcome students back to school for Term 3. Beerwah State School’s philosophy is to support students to be their very best and to set them up to lead a life of choice and not chance. The school’s two main priorities are: 1. Deliver an engaging English curriculum aligned to the AC achievement
standards through expert pedagogical practices and whole school frameworks to ‘Open up ‘A’ level thinking’. 2. Review, refine whole school processes to support social and emotional wellbeing of students and staff Last Semester, Beerwah State School was delighted with their student’s results, achieving well above state wide targets. The school also offers a wide variety
of programs and activities to support students and to cater for the needs and learning styles of every student. The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen/Garden program is thriving, with a focus on healthy eating and good food choices. Students learn to grow produce and then use this as ingredients in their cooking classes. Students have a wonderful time making poke bowls, stir fries, salads,
muffins, etc. The school also has many activities and clubs which run at lunch times. These include computer club, art club, soccer club, library, and handball. The school offers state of the art classrooms equipped with smart boards to enhance teaching and learning and many co-curricular and extracurricular activities planned to motivate students and to foster a love of learning.
