Does the Assessment & Planning cycle feel like a tick-a-box exercise? It doesn't have to. ✨

Across three sessions, you'll unpack the cycle as it sits within the EYLF http://V2.0, explore observation, assessment, planning and implementation in practice, and discover how to document in ways that actually mean something.

📅 Tuesdays: 21 July, 28 July & 4 August

One week to go!
There are still spots available for our Clemton Park Inquiry Visit - and trust us, you don't want to miss this one. This is a rare chance to step inside a preschool space that has genuinely reimagined what child-led curriculum can look like - and see it alive and in action.

You'll spend time immersed in the indoor and outdoor environments, explore classroom documentation, and connect with a team deeply committed to elevating children's voices and ideas. Then, two weeks later, reconnect online for a follow-up Q&A with Centre Director Frida Caris and preschool teacher Lucy Carmichael to keep the thinking going.

📍 Session 1: In-person at Clemton Park - 23 June, 9:30am–12:30pm
