All Saints' College Early Learning Philosophy 

Our All Saints’ College Early Learning philosophy centres on creating a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment for all, based on our College values of Empathy, Respect, Integrity and Courage and the Christian ethos.

Our vision is for each child to discover the joy of learning, with wellbeing at the heart of all we do.  We strive to build a keen sense of belonging and connection through positive relationships, embracing the diversity of our College community and the richness it affords us all. 

Our belief in the positive impact on children’s wellbeing when they are nurturing and exploring in the natural environment connects us to the land on which our school is built.  Acknowledging Country respects, the Whadjuk Beeliar people of the Noongar Nation, enriching the life and experience of all our children.

We see children as capable, curious, and unique individuals, who bring their own strengths, interests and ideas to our College. By learning through play and inquiry, they are taught to be inquisitive, to explore, co-construct knowledge and vocabulary, develop understanding and build essential skills and capabilities that will support them as successful lifelong learners. 

Our staff intentionally curate the learning environments for play, nature-based and inquiry learning experiences. These empower our children to develop their emotional, social, physical, creative, cognitive and language skills in meaningful ways with their teachers and peers. This approach fosters each child’s creativity and confidence by giving them agency in their learning. 

They are encouraged to wonder and ask questions, to problem solve, create connections and communicate as valued members of our learning community. Teachers also use explicit teaching methods, when appropriate, to introduce new concepts or reinforce specific skills. 

We believe our caring child-centred environment promotes a strong sense of belonging and mutual respect. We celebrate each child as a capable, curious and resilient contributing citizen of the world.
