We warmly welcome all new and returning Early Learning Centre families to Campbell House for the 2022 school year.

The beginning of the new school year is such an exciting time for both children and parents as the children commence, or continue their educational journey in the ELC. For many children, this can also be a time of uncertainty, as they take their first big steps into new learning environments and begin to form new relationships with educators and peers.

The current focus for our educators is building strong, positive relationships with the children and their families, and creating a secure and nurturing environment for the children.

Much planning and preparation has been put into the early learning programs and learning environments for the beginning of the year. We know that it promises to be a wonderfully rich year of learning and discovery for the children.

ELC Information Evening – Tuesday 15 February 6.30pm

The Head of Early Learning and ELC teachers look forward to sharing our early learning philosophy and curriculum at our upcoming information evening. There will be separate presentations for parents of children attending the 3YO and 4YO programs.

The evening will commence with the information sessions at 6.30pm. The presentation for 3YO parents will be held in the Junior School Library. The presentation for 4YO parents will be held in the ELC Piazza.

The Information Sessions will be followed by a PFA Welcome Evening for ELC and Junior School parents, held on the Village Green in Barbreck, St Catherine’s Junior School.

We warmly encourage you to attend this important event as it is a great opportunity to connect with other parents and educators and, importantly, to hear more about the programs your child will be engaged in this year.
