Curriculum Structure
Newstead Christian School is implementing the Early Learning Years Framework (EYLF) in Kindergarten. The EYLF is a Commonwealth initiative for early childhood education. The framework “… describes the principles, practice and outcomes essential to support and enhance young children’s learning from birth to five years of age, as well as their transition to school. Children explore their world through the themes of Belonging, Being and Becoming.”
Biblical framework for Kinders
A Biblical world view is also central to the ‘framework’ of Christian Education. The School’s early childhood classes use prayer, songs, stories, scripture memory and play to enable children to have an understanding of who Jesus is, that every child is special and God has a plan and purpose for each of their lives.

Letters and Sounds is introduced in Kindergarten and continues through to Grade 2. It is a phonics resource published by the Department for Education (UK). It aims to build children’s speaking and listening skills in their own right as well as prepare children for learning to read by developing their phonic knowledge and skills. It sets out a detailed and systematic program for teaching phonic skills for children starting by the age of five and becoming fluent readers by age seven.

Immerse your child in our outdoor program, fostering curiosity, exploration, and environmental stewardship.
Educational Approach
The School aims to provide an enabling environment where children feel comfortable and valued enough to be able to follow their interests, take the initiative in their learning, take on challenges and be resourceful. Reporting includes reference to children’s learning based on the Framework. This is evident through the photos and accompanying learning stories in the child’s portfolio.
