The IBDP is academically focused and prepares students for university study, with an emphasis on research, critical thinking, and global perspectives. The IBCP combines academic courses with career-related learning and practical experience, giving students pathways into vocational training, apprenticeships, or further study. Both programmes build on the skills developed through Montessori education, helping students succeed according to their individual interests and goals.

Rather than relying on tests, Montessori assessment is ongoing and observational. Assessment is focused on what the child is currently doing and on what their next steps for development will be. It also considers not only academic skills, but also executive function skills and social and emotional skills.

Teachers track each child’s progress carefully, ensuring learning is understood deeply and at the child’s own pace.

We are sharing this call-out from Friends of Yellagonga Regional Park, in case you are keen to get involved in our local ecosystem!

Montessori education develops independence, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, which are essential skills for success in both the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and the Career-related Programme (IBCP). Students who have experienced Montessori are used to inquiry-based learning, problem-solving, and taking responsibility for their work, making the transition to IB smooth and empowering.

At this stage of development, students naturally seek greater independence and a sense of purpose. Our programme supports this by encouraging them to take responsibility for their learning through purposeful work, collaboration, and engagement in community activities. This helps them build confidence, self‑motivation and practical skills that will serve them well in the future.

Support Our Year 9 & 10 Students at Bunnings Wangara Today! 🌭

If you're out and about today, please stop by Bunnings Wangara and support our Year 9 and 10 students at their Sausage Sizzle fundraiser.

In true Montessori fashion, the students have planned and organised this fundraising event themselves as they work towards raising funds for their biennial trip next year. This event is the result of their initiative, teamwork, and hard work, and they would love your support.

Please note: Due to the forecast weather, the stall has been moved to the Timber & Trade section of Bunnings.

So if you're nearby, come grab lunch, say hello, and help support their efforts!

Thank you for supporting our students and helping make their trip possible. 😊🌭

Our Montessori Playgroup is a weekly session for children aged 6 months to 4 years, where children attend alongside a parent or carer in a calm, prepared environment. It’s a beautiful introduction to Montessori, supporting independence, exploration, and connection—both for children and their families.

Beyond academic learning, Lower Secondary students engage in community work and service projects that help them understand their place in society. They take part in initiatives such as supporting charities, cultural immersion experiences and practical contributions to community needs, helping them refine their sense of responsibility and empathy.

Our Lower Secondary Program is designed to help young adolescents develop academically, socially and personally as they prepare for adult life. Our approach emphasises meaningful work, critical thinking and social interaction rather than just memorising facts. Students explore theoretical knowledge and real‑world problem-solving in a way that connects learning to life and community involvement.
