We are proud to announce the St Catherine's School in Waverley has just confirmed they will be implementing 'The Best of Friends' ™ program during 2016 at the Junior School.
Their enrolment sets a landmark moment for us at Quirky Kid as we continue to work incredibly hard to produce innovative and effective programs and resources that are tried, tested and loved in classrooms, clinics and lounge rooms around the globe.
About St Catherine's School
St Catherine's is the oldest independent Anglican girl's school in Australia. St Catherine's School was founded in 1856 by Mrs Jane Barker.
St Catherine's is an innovative school and are Australian leaders in positive psychology and ICT in education. The School offers many opportunities in sport, music and the arts and our staff carefully guide and support students through her studies and encourage them to find an interest they will pursue with passion.
Social and Emotional Learning
Equally with their commitment to academic results and positive psychology, St Catherine's school has demonstrated clear commitment to the Social and Emotional Learning of their students. We were impressed with the knowledge, focus, diligence and commitment the Learning Enrichment team demonstrated during our visit.
The Learning Enrichment team aims for inclusion for all girls, and Learning Enrichment programs are provided as in-class support and small group instruction. The Junior school is closely monitored from Kindergarten to Year 6 to make sure they are on track academically and with sound social and emotional skills.
