OUR PHILOSOPHY

Goondiwindi Kindergarten recognizes that families are as individual as the people in them.

Where children come first

To build genuine partnerships we believe it is important that staff value children and their families. 

Staff listen to parents* and appreciate the ongoing support of families who give their time and skills generously. Goondiwindi Kindergarten Association Inc. aims to engage children and families in a sense of community, cooperation and collaboration. 

We encourage you to become actively involved in this centre.  Your involvement will enrich your child’s learning experiences and promote positive self-esteem. Current research confirms what Lady Gowrie has always advocated, that the experiences of young children have a profound effect on their future.

Goondiwindi Kindergarten Association Inc. recognises that families are as individual as the people in them.  For brevity’s sake we use the term “parents” to encompass all primary caregivers.

CURRICULUM

Lady Gowrie Kindergartens base their education program on the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline, developed by the Queensland Studies Authority.

The Queensland Curriculum and assessment Authority (QCAA) is a statutory body of the Queensland Government which provides Kindergarten to Year 12 syllabuses, guidelines, assessment, reporting, testing and certification services for Queensland schools.

The QCAA was established on 1 July 2014, replacing the Queensland Studies Authority (QSA).

The Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline is broken up into 5 areas;

  • Connectedness
  • Identity
  • Wellbeing
  • Active Learning
  • Communicating
