Foundations of love, learning, and fun

Pre Primary

St Michael’s Pre Primary is built on the foundations of love, learning, and fun.

We believe that learning happens best in a fun and hands on environment in which learners can get dirty and use their bodies. Our holistic approach to education gives each learner the opportunity to succeed, not only academically, but socially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically as well. With small classes and trained assistants, each child can be given individual attention and care, ensuring the best foundations for formal schooling.

Our classrooms are beautifully decorated and fully stocked for creative and innovative learning. Each child has a locker in which to keep her personal belongings, each class has its own bathroom, and the large classrooms allow for ample space for both indoor play and academic activities.
Our large, beautiful, outdoor facilities are well kept and full of apparatus to help every child explore their skills and play for hours on end! Different enclosed playgrounds for each grade ensure better monitoring and safety for all rooms.

Our passionate staff are experienced, creative, and enthusiastic about learning and aim to make the classrooms a fun filled, inclusive space for all. At St Michael’s, we have an open door policy with our parents and believe that, in order for children to flourish, caregivers and teachers need to have open communication and mutual respect.

We love what we do. We love children, and we love to see each child succeed and develop into the best version of themselves.

Why did we become

Pre Primary Teachers

Teacher Vicci

Teaching young bodies requires a little bit of chaos, lots of love, magic air kisses and a lot of madness and most importantly, FUN! This basically describes Teacher V. The reason I became a teacher is because I want to inspire learners to think beyond their comfort zone and to challenge them to reach their full potential. I want to make a real difference in the lives of children in order to create lasting fun, creative and enjoyable memories.

Teacher Cassidy

What do you want to be when you grow up? Ever since I was five years old, my answer has been – a teacher. Pre-School teaching to me, is like the build up to a rollercoaster. Everyone is so excited when they get their ticket. They arrive mostly giddy with excitement and a little apprehensive. Make sure everyone is strapped in tight. Make sure everyone is ready to go, does everyone have a seat buddy? Off we go …

Teacher Michelle

There is a million reasons why I love what I do, even though we have a fair share of challenges along the way, but the feeling you get when overcoming these challenges never fails. Just when you start running out of patience or come close to giving up, your learners have a ‘breakthrough’ and see how thei skills develop and how they grow and mature.

Teacher Dianne

In my classroom my top priority is to care. Beyond that: to try and help plan the learners’ day. To encourage and inspire, to guide and support. To give of my skills, time and energy. BUT, most importantly to give LOVE! My day consists of helping to validate and name emotions, and to: “Help me do it myself”. So, even when my pre-school day becomes tough and exhausting my mantra is, “when life gives you a blue Monday. Dip it in glitter and sparkle all week!”
