School-age children will experience a very open-ended curriculum. The children will assist the teachers in planning activities for when they are not in school, such as summer and holiday breaks.
On a daily basis when the children are not in school they will be provided with materials and teacher support to assist them with their homework and allow them to engage in age appropriate activities with their friends.
