Earlier this year, our atrium featured a simple invitation inspired by the changing colours around us: "Can you draw an autumn leaf?" Children were encouraged to observe the leaves they discovered on walks around Canberra and even add a special leaf they had found to our display.

With pencils ready and waiting, this experience invited children to slow down, look closely and express their observations through drawing.

Bright colours, interesting shapes and open-ended materials invite children to engage in meaningful play. Our translucent shapes and colourful blocks encourage children to sort, stack, balance, create patterns and construct their own designs.

These simple yet versatile resources inspire creativity, problem-solving and imaginative thinking, as children investigate the many possibilities they offer.

Every element within our nursery environment is carefully selected to create a calm, welcoming and engaging space. From natural wooden toys and inviting books to plants and open-ended stacking resources, our shelves are intentionally arranged to encourage exploration, independence and play.

There's something magical about the way light transforms a learning space. By combining our light table with colourful translucent blocks, we create an inviting experience that encourages children to slow down, observe, create and wonder.

As the colours shine and reflections change, children naturally explore concepts such as light, shadow, colour and design. These open-ended resources inspire creativity, problem-solving and engineering thinking, while providing a calming sensory experience that captivates curious minds.

We thoughtfully design our learning environments to spark curiosity, and light is one of our favourite tools for doing so.

As children investigate light, colour and shadow, they're engaging in sensory-rich play that supports creativity, engineering thinking and problem-solving.

The colourful hopscotch that welcomes children into our centre each day is more than just a fun entryway.

As children jump, balance, count and move, they are building gross motor skills, coordination, number recognition and confidence.

Our children have been exploring Peep Inside Animal Homes by Anna Milbourne, beautifully illustrated by Simona Dimitri.

As they lift the flaps and peek into the homes of different animals, they are developing curiosity, expanding their vocabulary, and learning fascinating facts about the natural world.

Books like this invite children to wonder, ask questions, and make meaningful connections between stories and the world around them. When literacy is engaging, interactive, and shared together, it becomes a joyful adventure of learning and discovery.

The journey of lifelong learning begins long before primary school…

Research continues to highlight the vital role early childhood education plays in shaping children's future learning, wellbeing and development. At St Luke's, our early learning environment nurtures curiosity, confidence, meaningful relationships, inquiry and a genuine love of learning.

Through our values-based approach, children are supported to flourish as capable learners, active participants in their communities, and confident individuals. As the first step in an Anglican education, we provide a strong foundation for lifelong learning and growth.

Spot has been helping us explore, discover and learn!

From Spot’s First Numbers to Spot’s First Colours and more, our little learners have been enjoying sharing stories, building early literacy skills, and expanding their understanding of the world around them. Through books, children develop language, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.

At St. Luke's, we nurture the dispositions that support lifelong learning - curiosity, persistence, creativity, collaboration and the courage to ask questions.

We believe these habits of mind are just as important as the knowledge children acquire.
