ST ANDREW LUTHERAN
Primary School
St Andrew Lutheran Primary School in Leanyer is celebrating 30 years of providing quality education and care to children of Darwin. From humble beginnings in 1983, St Andrew has developed a reputation for nurturing education that gets results in producing well-rounded students who are well equipped to enter middle school and beyond. In 2013 the school has entered an exciting new phase by taking over the running of the Early Learning Centre on the St Andrew site. A qualified Early Childhood Teacher is now employed to provide exciting pre-school learning activities for children aged 3-5. Take a look into the ELC during daily learning time and you will see happy children engaged at different stations learning and growing. Some will be on iPads, some manipulating objects, some with books. There will be laughter, excitement, inquiring minds, lots of questions, and more. The teacher, team leader and educators keep a close eye on the educational and care requirements of each child. The Early Years Learning Framework is used to guide learning activities. In the outdoors area of the ELC you will see ample shaded play space, age appropriate play equipment including bikes on a bike path, an outdoor fresco
style eating area, and even a bucket of tadpoles and a frilled neck lizard or two! Being located on the St Andrew school site means that children at the ELC can access the school’s library for library lessons and borrowing time, the computer lab, playground and hardcourt. The Early Learning Centre provides stimulating learning that prepares young minds for the move into ‘big school’. Anxiety over starting big school is significantly reduced as the children are already familiar with the faces and buildings they will encounter in primary school. The ELC provides flexible hours that suit many working parents opening at 7.30am and closing at 5.30pm. You are welcome to visit the ELC at 94 Leanyer Drive, Leanyer, or contact the ELC for further information on 89451044 or sals.earlylearning@ntschools.net. Information is also available on www.standrew.nt.edu.au.
