Helping your child achieve full potential

Relaxed children learn more

By Julie Courtis (KMEC Willetton)

f you are concerned about your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic achievements in Term 2 reports or believe that he/she is not reaching their true potential, Kip McGrath centres are here to help. Early intervention is the key to getting on top of any issues that your child may be having with learning. By identifying areas needing attention, individualising programs, using quality resources and professional tutors, Kip McGrath Education Centres are able to help students move forward with their learning, with particular emphasis on English and Maths skills. It is not just children who are struggling with their school work who may need support. Kip McGrath centres also offer programmes for Extension students and those requiring help to prepare for GATE or Scholarship exams. Many gifted children are not academically challenged in the classroom and tend to underachieve. At Kip McGrath they will learn that it is ok to mak e a mistake; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we learn. They will be challenged to develop thinking and problem solving skills. Secondary Maths and English are also catered for, with students focussing on the skills they need to achieve better results in tests and exams. Some centres also offer other subjects (Study Skills,

Physics, Chemistry, Economics etc). Check with your local centre for details. Kip McGrath Education centre students enjoy being taught by qualified, caring tutors. As they work on individualised programs with computer activities to revise and consolidate their learning, students learn how to learn as well as what to learn. Homework tasks are specifically designed to revise and consolidate the teaching and learning which takes place during sessions. All students can learn given the right teaching and Kip McGrath Education Centres pride themselves on assessing, devising programs and quality teaching to give students the opportunity to reach their full potential. Parents gain peace of mind and support by bringing their children to Kip McGrath Education Centres. Proven methods gain results! They are here to help. For further information and to book your free assessment, visit the Kip McGrath website at www.kipmcgrath.com.au or call: Balcatta (9240 2335), Gosnells (9490 7822), Ellenbrook (9297 3654), Jandakot (9414 8088), Joondalup (9301 2334), Mundaring (9295 6255), Victoria Park (9472 7480) or Willetton (9259 4833).

appy, relaxed children learn more! Prominent educator, Victoria Carlton has spent many years researching the best methods to help children learn. Her research indicates that the best results occur when children are relaxed, can learn at their own pace and with their particular learning style. The methods used in Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International Centre for Excellence are research based and acknowledge that each child is a unique gift to the world with their own cocktail of strengths and weaknesses. Children are taught according to Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specialised CREAM model and put on individualised learning programs to ensure they make maximum progress. Some children are taught individually and some are taken in small groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All children have their special learning preferences,â&#x20AC;? says Victoria Carlton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to get to know their child well and ensure they are on the best possible learning plan.â&#x20AC;? The CREAM model is based on 5 well researched principles: Creativity as all children are natural creators and so education methods must include creative elements. Reflective learning with opportunities to revise and learn deeply get the best results.

Engagement is the key. Children do not pay attention to boring lessons. Active learning. Children need to move and be active within the learning process. Multisensory methods. The more senses stimulated, the more learning takes place. Visitors to Victoria Carlton Centres are struck by the attractive, stimulating learning environments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Children need colour, learning games and an environment that stimulates their brains. We want to maximise progress and help children to love learning - not put their brains to sleep,â&#x20AC;? says Victoria. Children in Western Australia can now enrol for her Term 4 programs in 2 centres: Bayswater ICE (International Centre for Excellence) and ACE (Agape Centre for Excellence in Cockburn). Parents can call on 9271 4200 to get information and enrol their children. Children of all ages are catered for (2-17 years) are catered for and learning programs include literacy, numeracy, study skills and emotional intelligence (EQ4KIDZ). Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs foster creativity, divergent thinking and encourage children to

thousands of others, have discovered the joy of reading and learning new maths concepts, giving them confidence in the classroom and in everyday life.

“I thought Kumon was going to be really hard but once I got started, it was easy!” Oscar said.

Kumon’s individualised learning programmes are designed for children of all ages and abilities to learn at their own pace and to develop the study habits for success in high school and beyond.

His father, Tim, has seen the benefits of his son’s advanced learning. “Academically, he’s above all the other kids and he feels more confident in class,” he said. “Many staff at my workplace now also send their children to Kumon. I don’t need to tell them about Kumon. They see Oscar in my office during the holidays and they see the improvement themselves.” Just as important, Oscar is motivated to continue his advanced learning with Kumon. “It’s good to be learning ahead because then I’m prepared for higher year levels. Sometimes it gets difficult but I don’t want to stop,” he said. It is through Kumon’s maths and English programmes that students like Oscar, and

Experience La Fille mal gardée

timeless romance brought to the stage in West Australian Ballet’s spectacular new production of La Fille mal gardée (The wayward daughter). Internationally acclaimed choreographer Marc Ribaud has injected this classic story of young love and romantic high jinx with a deft touch of 1950s je ne sais quoi. Lise and Colas are in love, but Lise’s mother has other ideas for her wayward daughter and plans to marry her off to the son of rich wine merchant, Alain. But Alain is more interested in his beloved umbrella than the pretty Lise. In a series of mischievous vignettes we follow Lise as she tries to work her way out of the betrothal and back into the arms of her love-struck beau. A ballet for all the family, La Fille mal gardée will put a spring on your step and a

The practice sees many children suffering academically and socially. These children suffer with low selfesteem, problems with friends, bullying, aggressive behaviour, and lack of confidence.

70% of the immune system is governed by gut flora, balancing allergies therefore begins in the gut. Thorough investigation such as hair analysis, heavy metal levels and functional pathology of all allergens are some of the tools they use.

Problems during their early years can lead to further emotional and behavioural problems such as depression, suicide, anxiety, abuse and violence towards society.

Utilising the results, staff create an individualised care plan that may use diet, lifestyle, fun and nutrients. With over 16 years of experience, Naturopath Kacey Grieves loves working with children to empower them on their path to ultimate

Health, Sport & Safety Spread the word

ear readers,

My family and I live in France, and return to Perth every July holidays. This year we enrolled our 11-year-old daughter in swim lessons at The Swim Factory in the Greater Fremantle area. Over two weeks, her stroke technique lessons far exceeded our expectations and we are still shaking our heads in disbelief at the milestones our daughter has reached in just nine sessions. She can now swim freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke - which she couldn’t previously do. Our daughter is so excited that she can now swim and swim well, with confidence. She has an amazing sense of achievement - which she will have for the rest of her life. I want to pass the word around of the amazing teaching happening at The Swim

Factory - The Knab family. The Swim Factory head coach, Greg Hodge (former head of WAIS swimming) says swimming lessons can also help increase safety around water and ultimately prevent drowning. Visit www.theswimfactory.com.a

Unique Australian jewellery for men and women

nspired by love for their children, Lisa and Stacey set about designing unique jewellery to celebrate life’s special moments. The names of loved ones or personal messages are hand-stamped on sterling silver and Australian 9ct gold jewellery. In essence, Lisa and Stacey create bespoke symbols of love. The Koolaman story is an uplifting tribute to the bespoke and handmade in a world of mass production. The act of stamping by hand, with all the delicate imperfections that add character, has been embraced across the nation and across oceans. Their simple, sometimes rustic, Australian interpretation of jewellery brings an authentic, lasting element to life’s celebrations. From their more delicate pieces that are perfect for feminine wrists and necks, to the large, statement making hide cuffs, that look fabulous on men and women who love a bold touch, Koolaman designs are

equally at home on the red carpet and in outback Australia. For more information call 1300 789 524, email info@koolaman.com.au or visit www.koolaman.com.au

The Story of Dream a Little Dream. Not that very long ago in land far-far away two lovely Princesses, Leanne and Chantelle, had to deal with much sorrow and sadness when they both lost their handsome Princes to a very nasty disease. This is how they met and become the very best of friends. They decided they didn’t want to be sad anymore so they started creating beautiful parties for the little folk they love. The Princesses now provide affordable, fun and stress free parties throughout the land for busy mummies and daddies. Little ones can choose to enter a fantasy world of Woodland Fairies, Plundering Pirates, Wonderland or Jurassic Fantastic to name a few or the Princesses can imagine a completely custom theme just for your special little person.

Please note photos will not be returned and winners are not drawn on the basis of the best photo.
