FEATURED SERVICES

Barker College Pre-K children attend 5 days per week during term time and wear the same uniform as Kindergarten to Year 2 students.   In 2018 we opened the new Kurrajong Building for Pre-K to Year 2 students. This exciting development brings the youngest members of the Barker community within the fold of the Junior School. The building itself captures the essence of a future focused teaching and learning space; light and open, with maker spaces for groups to collaborate and gather. It also allows greater access to the vast resources on the main campus. Flexible and engaging spaces provide the Prep students with every opportunity to begin their Barker journey in an inspiring learning environment.

Barker's Pre-K children benefit from being immersed in a dynamic, motivating learning environment rich in opportunities for the development of emotional well-being, self-esteem and respect for others and the development of appropriate literacy and numeracy skills.

They are provided with structured activity choices within the Reggio Emilia framework that promotes curiosity, creative thinking and inquiry based learning. Children are encouraged to be active learners who communicate, collaborate and develop self-help skills.  Pre-K students will also enjoy Christian Studies, Creative and Practical Arts, Library, Music and Physical Education sessions as part of their timetable. 

Children should be 4 years old by March 31 in the year they enter Pre-K.  Students may be dropped off from 8.00am with the Pre-K program commencing at 8.30am and concluding at 2.45pm.  Out of School Hours Care is available from 6.30am to 8.30am and 2.45pm to 6.00pm.    Contact us for more information.


Sydney Grammar School St Ives Preparatory School
The St Ives Preparatory School is a unique educational environment which caters especially for lively boys who are intellectually curious, creative and display an enthusiasm for learning. Our aim is to provide a learning environment that is both rich and challenging, one that encourages independence and deep thinking. We seek to build a culture where learning is held in high regard and attitude and effort are rewarded.

It is a school of curious boys who ask lots of questions, who want to learn more about the world, like to develop a passionate interest, and look deeply into subjects to satisfy their own curiosity. This doesn’t just happen in our classrooms. Our boys are provided with wonderful opportunities in music, sport, drama, science, literacy, numeracy, languages and more. Our boys are very busy and that is the way they like it. They like to be challenged, and there is no better place to be than amongst your peers where the diversity of ideas is encouraged and respected.

If you think your son could benefit from what we have to offer, please get in touch with us. You should join one of the regular tours, or come to our annual Open Day, to be held this year on Friday 10 May.  We’d love to hear from you.   Contact us for more information.

SpanishMI
Happy, thriving, bilingual kids!
We believe in giving every kid in Australia the amazing benefits of being bilingual. Speaking two or more languages opens up a world of possibilities, ranging from positive and long-lasting effects to the brain to a better understanding of the world.  

Moreover, studying a language brings valuable education, cultural and social opportunities. A kid that learns a second language will:

  • Increase his/her confidence
  • Improve cognitive skills, logic and mathematical reasoning
  • Have a better attention span
  • Be more empathetic
  • Access better job opportunities in the future
  • Become a social butterfly

We have carefully created an outstanding Spanish immersion program for Kindies specifically designed for kids aged 2 to 5.   And we would love to have your CENTRE to come on board!  Contact us now for a free trial Alejandra 0434403427   www.spanishmi.com.au

PARENT INFORMATION

Toilet Training
Just as your baby starts to get older, and you fall into a comfortable routine, it comes time to toilet train. And all of a sudden you find yourself in a spot where you just don't know what to do! Here are some helpful hints to get your prince or princess on the throne.

Pick the right time
Most children aren't ready to use the toilet until they are two or three years' old.

Start preparing your child
It's a good idea to prepare at least a week
Give it a go

It's a good idea to wait until you've got a quiet week at home before starting. Begin first thing in the morning by putting your child in their special underpants, and some old, loose-fitting clothes.

The first few weeks
Toilet training doesn't happen overnight; it might take your child just a few days to get the hang of it, or possibly a few weeks.

Troubleshooting
Sometimes children need a little extra help.

If you find yourself getting angry, or you feel as though your child is not responding, simply stop. Have a break and try again in a few weeks
