The power of routine and consistency at Kip McGrath By Hayley Rya n – Nor th Perth Centr e
A
t Kip McGrath Education Centres, we understand the how important a consistent learning routine and revision is to a student’s success. All of our students achieve huge gains from our 80 minute sessions, prepared and taught by fully qualified and experienced teachers. We develop programs specifically designed to boost your child’s confidence each week. Each lesson, students receive homework specifically designed to consolidate their learning – encouraging a deeper level of understanding and retention. The relationship between the tutor and student is also vital – and we pride ourselves on the rapport we build with our learners. Our tutors really gets to know them, their struggles and their strengths. We truly want to see them succeed! You don’t have to come to a Kip McGrath centre for help. Over the holidays we offer flexi lessons to continue your child’s learning journey, both online and in the centre. Our purpose-built online tutoring is now available
in many centres. All you need is an Internet connection with adequate speed and you can have a tutor working face-to-face with your child. Because of this flexibility in our delivery of tutoring, we can offer lessons at times that suit you. It is never too late or too early to seek our help if you feel your child is losing confidence and becoming disheartened with school.

Engaging early learners
C
reating a stable and nurturing environment is a vital factor for your child’s development. The opportunity to form long-lasting friendships is important, especially for the youngest children who are learning to form secure attachments that will be the foundation for future relationships. That’s why more parents choose to enrol their children into the Early Learning program at Guildford Grammar School. Their innovative early learning programs, along with their exceptional teaching staff, set the foundation for your child’s future. With an active, flexible approach to learning, a program is tailored to suit the specific needs of your child. It’s this focus on personal excellence that inspires each individual to achieve his or her best. Early Learning at Guildford Grammar School is all about engagement – through a dynamic mix of curiosity and the crucial skill development of writing, reading, maths, science skills and
competency. What the children see and experience at Guildford Grammar School are classrooms where they feel safe and secure to try new things, meet new friends and “show off” their learning. Every day in Early Learning is filled with awe, wonder and creativity. This – combined with the teachers’ deep understanding of the skills and competencies the children need – creates a dynamic, fun and engaging environment for young children.
