Early Years
Welcome to Mulgrave's Early Years, where our focus is to encourage confident learners.
Our programme incorporates the transdisciplinary themes of the IB Primary Years Programme to foster the development of learners who are caring, communicative, inquiring, adventurous, balanced, thoughtful, principled, reflective, open minded, and knowledgeable.
The youngest members of our student community, our PK3, PK4, and Kindergarten students, engage in an inquiry-based, hands-on approach to learning and are encouraged to:
- Actively explore their world
- Discover new information
- Develop language and critical thinking skills
- Apply their ideas in meaningful ways
- Encourage social and emotional development
Early Years families have many opportunities to engage in their children's education - from casual interactions with teachers at the beginning or end of the day to formal conference touchpoints through the year. Volunteer and social opportunities also abound, fostering an incredible community spirit amongst families.
