September 2023

Please see the attached results from our Articles exercise whereby families were asked to choose 4 articles that were important to them. Thank you to our families who took the time to do this. Our new Charter is now created and the results confirm that we pledge to ensure:
Article 3 – Children are at the heart of everything we do and we meet the needs of each individual child and ensure they are learning and developing at a pace that suits them.
Article 12 – We ensure all children are included and they have a voice. Children are consulted through visuals and graphs and are able to make choices of playing and learning. Planning is predominately responsive, however we also use Intentional planning in order to meet the needs of each child.
Article 24 – We ensure we provide healthy lunches and snacks at all times. Children are also encouraged to brush their teeth, exercise and also have some rest. We promote healthy lifestyles at every opportunity to ensure children have access to good food, health services and clean water.
Article 31 – We ensure children have a wide range of play experiences and are exposed to various cultural and artistic activities in order to celebrate our diverse families.
Thank you
