Santa Sabina College

Bright Start Program

Santa Sabina College recognises the changing needs of students entering Kindergarten and as a result has developed an exciting program designed to lay the foundation for a successful life long learning journey for our Kindergarten students. The program is based on the results of research into current trends and best practice for successful education in the early years. The results of the “Bright Start” program are cohesive classroom environments that are full of rich learning tasks and opportunities, as well as challenges that are designed to cater for individual needs. The program takes place at the beginning of Term 1 and lasts for approximately 3 - 4 weeks.

Features include:

Generous teacher-pupil ratio
Individualised observations and assessments for each child
Early identification of learning needs as well as gifts and talents.
Engagement in a variety of highly structured learning experiences.
A high degree of Parent Involvement through workshops and visits to open classrooms
Children who more quickly feel secure, confident, settled and organised.

The Bright Start Program is a true reflection of the importance the College places in the partnerships between teachers and parents which are necessary for optimum student performance. It also reflects the dedication the staff have in researching and providing relevant and innovative curriculum opportunities for students.
