Madlurta (Kindergarten & Reception)
Madlurta is our integrated Kindergarten and Reception space, removing the typical transition from kindergarten to school. As the children start ‘school’ they are in the same familiar and supportive space with the same educators and friends, they just attend full time rather than 15 hours per week.
Across Madlurta we maintain the same ratios of staff to children as required in the Kindergarten. The integrated space also removes the concern about school readiness as the environment nurtures each child at the level they are at, no matter their year level. Madlurta has room for up to 50 enrolments.

Kurlana (Years 1-3)
In our vertical grouping, Years 1, 2, and 3 are combined in the same wardli (classroom). We believe in diverse groupings based on age, interest, and experience. Progress is supported through personalised learning goals, building on strengths. While age-based classes may be easier for teachers, we focus on each child’s individual journey.
Our groups, with a maximum of 25 children, include an Educator and Co-educator, and children sometimes work in different groupings within the Year 1-3 cohort. There is a Lead Educator for this collective.
Wardliarna – Paitya (Deadly Snake), Kadli (Dingo) and Kudlyu (Swan).
Warti (Years 4 – 6)
As in Kurlana, Years 4-6 are grouped vertically, offering the same benefits as our other groupings. Development is focused on the individual, while educators are mindful of age-appropriate milestones.
With a maximum of 25 children in each class, and an Educator and Co-educator, our groups work both separately and collectively as Warti, with a Lead Educator overseeing the collective.
Wardliarna – Kalta (Lizard), Kuya (Fish) and Kurraka (Magpie).
Karra (Years 7-12)
Whilst our Karra (Senior) learners are based in their home groups, still with a maximum of 25 young people in each group with an Educator and Co-educator, the staff work collectively across Karra to provide high school and SACE curriculum. This is facilitated in a unique way that provides rich and varied learning opportunities for the diversity of interests and young people.
We have two Year 7/8 groups in 2026.
Wardliarna – Nakudla (Shark) and Kardi (Emu)
We have one Year 11/12 group in 2026.
Wardliarna – Winta (Owl).
