At Sunrise Early Learning Centres, we truly believe that the best beginnings for learning start from the heart, fostering kindness, respect, and a warm sense of community.

Every day, our qualified and passionate educators create meaningful learning experiences that help children grow with confidence, curiosity, and compassion. We foster an environment where every child feels valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

Your child's safety and well-being are at the heart of everything we do. Our nurturing, secure environment gives children the confidence to explore, learn, and build lifelong friendships.

At Sunrise ELC, we're more than an early learning centre—we're a community where children thrive, families feel connected, and values shape every learning journey. To learn more, book a tour at sunrise.sa.edu.au

This term, the Kindy children at Sunrise Marion ELC have been learning Japanese colour names through a variety of engaging activities, including songs, pictures, and crafts. 🍡 ✨

They have been practising colours like Orenji (orange), Murasaki (purple), Midori (green), Pinku (pink), Kiiro (yellow), and Aka (red).

In this week's Japanese lesson, the children were introduced to Dango, a delightful traditional Japanese sweet consisting of small balls on a stick.

The children participated in a fun craft activity, creating unique Dango with colourful emoji faces. Using cotton balls, glue, and craft sticks, they cut out their favourite emojis, glued them onto the cotton balls, and assembled their creations on the sticks. ✂️ 🖍️

It was such a fun learning experience for our little learners! 💛💙

At Sunrise Paradise ELC, our students were filled with wonder and excitement as they met a variety of fascinating animals, from quokkas to pythons, thanks to a special visit from Animals Anonymous. 🐍

This hands-on experience provided a unique opportunity for children to learn about animals up close, sparking curiosity, awe, and a deeper appreciation for the amazing world around them.

Experiences like these are incredibly valuable for young learners. By seeing, touching, and interacting with the animals, children engage their senses, ask questions, build confidence, and develop a stronger understanding of the natural world. Learning through real-life experiences helps make new knowledge meaningful, memorable, and exciting.

We are so grateful for opportunities like this that enrich our curriculum, inspire a love of learning, and encourage our students to explore and discover God's wonderful creation. 💛✨

The Grade 4 students from Sunrise Morphett Vale and Marion had an incredible adventure with the Beyond Limits team at Adare Camp! From engaging in tribal games to enjoying beach activities, every moment was truly special. 🏕️✨

Activities at Adare House focused on collaborative learning and teamwork, offering students the chance to solve a range of puzzles.

The students took part in activities such as the flying kiwi, shelter building, water obstacle courses, beach games, the survivor challenge, and the beyond limits relay. They also participated in fun events such as the Granite Island Walk, a sand sculpture competition, and a lively Red Faces Concert that brought plenty of laughter.

Each day wrapped up with a peaceful night walk and movie night. Everyone left feeling thankful for the unforgettable experiences and friendships formed.

At Sunrise, we love providing opportunities that make learning meaningful, exciting, and memorable for every child. The best part is that camps are included in school fees, making them accessible to all students. 💛💙

Students from Sunrise Fullarton, Paradise, Morphett Vale and Marion participated in the SACSA Primary Soccer Carnival held at Barratt Reserve last Thursday and Friday. 🌊⚽

On the first day, our Grade 3/4 students took to the field, followed by our Grade 5/6 students on day 2. Each team played with incredible spirit and determination!

Throughout both days, our students showcased outstanding sportsmanship, enthusiastically cheering one another on while giving it their all on the field and from the sidelines alike.

A core principle of SACSA is to nurture a sense of unity, cooperation, and friendship in a positive and structured environment, and we witness this unfold at every sports event. 💙💛

📌 Reminder

Friday, June 5th, is a Student Non-Attendance Day.

We hope you enjoy a peaceful and refreshing long weekend! 💛💙

We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday, June 9th, as we continue with Term 2.

🚨 Sunrise Early Learning Centres will remain open.

We are excited to share that our Early Learning Centre at Fullarton has been selected as a partner service to deliver the South Australian Government's new 3-year-old preschool program, commencing from January 2027.

Flying Start for Kids is an initiative of the government's broader investment in quality early childhood education, aiming to provide more children with access to teacher-led, play-based learning during the critical years before school.

A quality preschool for 3-year-olds provides a safe and welcoming environment where children can explore, learn, and grow through play-based activities. It helps children develop their social, emotional, language, and motor skills while encouraging creativity and curiosity.

What will change with the introduction of the 3-year-old preschool program?
Children will continue to enjoy rich, play-based learning experiences, with a qualified teacher present in the room to support their development further. This investment also provides teachers with more time for planning, access to professional development, and additional support, ultimately enhancing the quality of education across all services.
