Dunvegan Nursery School
- LET THE LEARNING BEGIN -
Introduction and History
For 69 years, children, parents, and even a few grandparents have had the pleasure of growing up in our school. We have grown from a tiny homeschool of 6 children to a public benefit organisation with over 100 children attending daily and in addition, we provide working parents with a thriving aftercare facility which serves children who attend our school as well as students from neighbouring schools in Grade 1 to Grade 7. ​
​As a leading educational facility in the eastern suburbs, Dunvegan Nursery School is renowned for the quality of our teaching staff and curriculum. Our qualified and experienced teachers instil a sense of independent thinking, curiosity and self-discipline upon our students. Our play-based, well-rounded learning programme nurtures young minds in an imaginative, loving and warm environment. Past pupils hold our name high as they move through their primary and secondary schooling, excelling in academic and leadership roles. Student teachers visit our classrooms regularly, seeking unparalleled teaching experience as they begin their teaching careers.
Our Programme & Environment
We believe in creating a controlled space for children, while still stimulating their minds and awakening their desire to learn. To do this we plan programmes to promote your child’s independence while nurturing their group interaction skills. Our programme is inclusive and broad-based. It takes us through language skills, phonemic awareness, number readiness, science & nature, music, stories, creative handwork activities, physical development and much more. Our modules are specifically designed for pre-school requirements with the end goal of easing into the primary school phase of learning. We aim to help young children to:
-
Develop positive values through meaningful experiences.
-
Develop their individual capabilities to the fullest – intellectually, socially, morally and emotionally.
-
Feel at ease with themselves and with their unique approach to living in today’s world.
