Excursions/Incursions
The Preschool participates in excursions thoughout the year and asks parents to attend to assist with supervision. We need to maintain a ratio of 1 adult per 4 children on an excursion. If there is a significant water hazard the ratio must be 1 adult to 2 children. If we cannot maintain these ratios, the excursion may be unable to proceed.
Incursions are events that will occur within the Preschool or School setting.
Costs are kept to a minimum and consent and payment can be made via the School Bytes Parent Portal. Payments for exursions/incursions must be recieved no later than 2 days prior to event. For excursions/incursions over $10 families are able to request help with costs through the Student Assistance Scheme - staff can assist with this request.
All excursions/incursions will follow Telarah Public School Policy in planning and implementation. Children will be expected to travel by the designated transport, as this is an important part of the excursion. Parents who attend as supervisors will be expected to participate in the whole excursion.
Celebrations
Please inform us of any celebrations your child and your family may celebrate. We love to share families diverse cultures and beliefs through celebrations. Examples of celebrations in the past are: Easter, Chinese New Year, Diwali, NAIDOC, Christmas etc.
Program
Our program is stimulating, engaging, child interest driven and enhances children's learning and development.
We implement The Early Years Learning Framework.
The Framework's vision is for all children to experience play based learning that is engaging and builds success for life.
The Early Years Learning Framework describes childhood as a time of Belonging, Being and Becoming.
There are 5 learning outcomes which are designed to capture the integrated and complex learning and development of all children from birth to 5 years.
The outcomes are:
- Children have a strong sense of identity
- Children are connected with and contribute to their world
- Chidren have a strong sense of wellbeing
- Children are confident and involved learners
- Children are effective communicators
The framework focuses on each child's learning. We work with families to get to know each child well. We listen, watch and talk with each child. We then create a learning program that builds on each child's interests and abilities. Families are kept involved in this continual process.
By working together parents and educators can enhance the child's learning and wellbing.
