We are pleased to continue to offer our M.A.G.I.C. Group as part of our funded 3 Year old Kinder program and as an additional, opt in session for our four year old Djinith-djinith Group children. 

During 2020, to cater for children of essential workers and to work alongside our remote learning program due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we trialled mixed age grouping to allow the small number of children attending the centre to benefit from a social connection and to be able to build a learning community during this time.

Our Reggio Emilia influence played part in this decision as well as our Educational Leader’s experience with this model, travelling and working within Reggio Emilia. 

​

This provided time and space for children to work with one another and to work within the mixed age group framework for a period of time. We were able to witness first hand children working together collaboratively, with empathy and respect and sharing knowledge organically. As a result, it has become a permanent part of our timetable.
