Why Arkie

Arkie embodies a sense of adventure, respect, kindness, inclusion and education, all of which are critical elements and attributes essential to raising the next generation of changemakers.

The Arkie Way

The Arkie way of teaching will continually evolve; our guiding principle of continuous improvement imposes this. We look to multiple perspectives and theories on children’s learning and development and apply those that resonate with our values.

As educators, we strive to instill a love of learning in every child and cherish the moments when we slow down and witness the natural wonder of the world side-by-side with our children.

We are inspired to grow meaningful, positive connections with each child and family and to build experiences that foster curiosity, discovery and creativity.

Every opportunity is taken to support each child’s physical, social, emotional, creative, cognitive and linguistic development in collaboration with families.

That every child has the right to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts

Article 31, United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

Anything that is worth teaching can be presented in many different ways. These multiple ways can make use of our multiple intelligences

Howard Gardner

The greatest gifts we can give our children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence

Maria Montessori

Education must be not only a transmission of culture but also a provider of alternative views of the world and a strengthener of the will to explore them

Jerome Bruner

Every child needs at least one adult who is irrationally crazy about him or her

Urie Bronfenbrenner

Where is the book in which the teacher can read about what teaching is? The children themselves are this book. We should not learn to teach out of any book other than the one lying open before us and consisting of the children themselves

What does a day at Arkie look like?

Flexibility and fun are key drivers of what each day may look like! We hold high expectations for our children and believe all children have the capacity to succeed given the right encouragement and environment.

As educators we recognise our role in a partnership with families working together to support each child’s education. Feedback from parents and families is welcomed and sought after. Our community is made up of people from diverse backgrounds and we strive to create a learning environment that is respectful and welcoming to all.
