The space is well set up and each day is planned with a good mix of free play and group activities (with some fun play style early literacy, numeracy and science included).

I highly recommend this kindy with five stars.” — N Bradshaw “After booking my daughter into early birds pre-kindy rather last minute, I could not be happier with my choice. Miss Michelle and Miss Elaine are awesome with all the kids and it shows, my daughter simply adores them both. The attention to detail into each and every session is over and above expectation.

THE EXAMINER, SEPTEMBER 9TH, 2015 – Page 17 Forward thinking at Montessori Open Morning I n recent years there has been a growing conversation internationally about the need to radically change how education is delivered to students both from the younger years through to high school. Experts in many fields have clearly shown that the students of tomorrow need to learn skills which are essential in their ability to productively contribute to the dynamic and ever-changing world. These skills include creativity, communication, critical thinking and collaboration. They have also shown that being a number in a larger school is not always in the best interests of children. Students need to understand what it means to persevere and to learn from failure. Teachers need to help them engage with the larger world and find out what motivates them as an individual, helping them find a path toward living a meaningful and fulfilling life. Montessori, which has a 100-year history, already does what experts and innovators are saying is desperately required in the world of education today. Perth Montessori school, a progressive and forward thinking Montessori school, keeps up with the practices in education. It works tirelessly to teach to every student’s interests and passions beginning at the tender age of three and continuing all the way through to high school. Saturday 21st November, 9am Childcare available on the morning if prior booking made One of the Queen of Apostles’ peer support groups in action. Children support each other S tudents at Queen of Apostles are really committed to helping and supporting each other. The school is now in its sixth year of running a peer support program, which aims to build the harmony, social skills and connectedness of students. In first term all year six students undergo intensive training to become group leaders. These students then take charge of a group of younger students from years one to five. The year six group leaders work from a set program of activities on topics including anti-bullying, building resilience, how to make friends and how to maintain friendships. School principal Shaun O’Neill said the program was a success. “It has provided opportunities for all our year six students to be trained in developing leadership and management skills,” he said. “The sessions provide opportunities for the children to discuss, share and learn how to better deal with various social situations so that they become more confident and self-assured. “The sessions provide a unique opportunity for children from across all year levels to get to know each other better. This builds the social cohesiveness, harmony and sense of belonging within our school.” to book email: admin@perthmontessori.wa.ed.au or phone 9362 2186 150 Burswood Rd, Burswood WA 6100 From age 3 to High School PLACES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE * A highly successful educational method * Teaching & learning differentiated for each individual * Inclusive, caring, multi-aged grouped classrooms * Promotes & develops independence in learning and life * Before School, After School & Holiday Care Queen of Apostles School OUT OF SCHOOL HOURS CARE NOW AVAILABLE 5 DAYS PER WEEK Queen of Apostles provides an innovative, challenging and supportive learning environment Your First Choice for Educational Excellence in the Riverton Area for Over 50 Years … in a friendly, caring, Christian environment.

His mother had recently completed a first aid course and knew what to do in an emergency. “When my son was 23 months he was badly burned by a cup of coffee,” she said. “Following my first aid training I responded quickly and stripped all his clothes and put him in a cold shower for 20 minutes before taking him to hospital.” Once in hospital William was cared for by burns specialist Professor Fiona Wood and in just four months of treatment, he had no visible scars. If it had not been for his mother’s quick thinking the outcome could have been far worse. “Fiona Wood told me that if I had not administered first aid William could have been scarred for life,” she said. Professor Wood said 20 minutes of cool clear running water reduced the impact of burn injury in children by 80 per cent. “This first aid message is fundamental not just for parents of chil- ith more than 25 years of experience in competition dance and teaching Jenny Clare has been operating Maddington studio Jus’ Dance for 14 years.
