At Woodlands, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work, live and learn together on each day. We acknowledge the Ancestors, Elders and families of the First People, for they hold the memories, the traditions, and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia.
At Woodlands, we honour the unique learning styles and abilities of each child, nurturing them with respect and collaboration to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive in their own way. We believe in planting seeds of lifelong attitudes, skills, and behaviours through our dedicated work with children and families, driven by our vision for a better world. Our commitment includes fostering inclusivity, equality, and a secure environment for all, alongside nurturing a deep understanding of cultural knowledge to empower and broaden perspectives within the Woodlands community.
Our mission at Woodlands is to support all children by empowering them to express themselves through intentional, play-based learning strategies. These strategies not only enhance their knowledge but also foster positive attitudes towards learning and strengthening their identity. We provide children with opportunities to grow and expand their learning in thriving environments, ensuring they receive the best educational experiences. At Woodlands we promote sustainability through daily practices of recycling and up-cycling, as well as encouraging environmental responsibility throughout our community.
As Educators at Woodlands, we embrace agility and reflection and adapting to an evolving world. Guided by our core values, we are committed to delivering the highest quality education and outcomes for children, families, and our local community. Our community thrives on diverse experiences, languages, and perspectives, including our own culturally diverse educators, fostering a collaborative learning environment where every voice is valued and supported. Our partnerships with the Woodlands community are built on mutual respect, shared values, and leveraging each other’s strengths in knowledge and skills.
