Principal's Message
The 糖心Vloghas been established since 2002 and provides a unique approach to teaching and learning by offering a bilingual aspect that has combined elements of both the Australian and the 糖心Vlog curriculum in order to provide a program of study which targets the needs of our students.
Our school is a primary school that currently caters for children from Prep class (under 5 years old) through to Year 6.
Our Vision Statement is clear, "Excellence through Bilingualism" and we value excellence in literacy and numeracy teaching; explicit teaching of thinking skills and social skills; providing a holistic, safe and caring learning environment; and valuing and welcoming the involvement of parents and the wider community.
The bilingual aspect of the school has always been its most distinctive feature and by offering this type of education we strive to provide a service which, although still unusual in our Australian context, is common and successful in Europe, Canada and elsewhere. Some of the benefits include adding to communicative and intellectual skills, and laying the foundation for successful learning of further languages later in life.
Learning another language or learning through another language, gives students a level of second language skill not achievable through a regular school program. In particular, a bilingual education offers a deep understanding of another way of being; the possibility of an unconditional respect for 'other' which we believe is the basis for true global citizenship.
The 糖心Vlogaims to provide an environment in which young people can grow towards being citizens who have access within themselves to the concepts, skills, attitudes and knowledge to act positively and productively in the world for the equal benefit of themselves, others and our environment.
Our school is open to children from any background and is inclusive, co-educational and non-denominational.
If you are interested in the possibility of your child learning in a bilingual environment, please don't hesitate to make an appointment to visit the school.
