Compass Philosophy
Compass views learning as a journey full of wonder, discovery, challenge, growth and memories
Our Compass Points
Our philosophy captures the magic of the child's learning journey through four compass points -
inquire, play, create and collaborate
These elements reflect Compass priorities and our desire to harness
children's natural inclinations and innate love of learning
These form the compass points through which we
navigate the program of learning
A Lifelong Journey
At Compass, children have time to
inquire, play, create and collaborate as endeavours essential to lifelong learning and holistic development
Valuing Time
Children have time to enjoy and experience the learning journey, to build relationships and have a balanced day
Valuing the child
Compass prioritises the child's wellbeing, sense of self and interpersonal relationships
Our inter-cardinal directions help children navigate
their everyday interactions
Compass Values
Our values are: be fair, caring, open-minded and respectful, and 'be me'
They include the way we treat ourselves and others
A Shared Experience
At Compass, peers, friends, teachers and parents
share the learning journey and act as companions, mentors and guides
New Growth
Compass Teachers work alongside children to guide, support and challenge on the path to new growth and development
Tools for Learning
Compass Teachers assist children to develop the skills, strategies, habits and attitudes useful on their learning journey
Valuing Progress
Compass Teachers follow the child's learning journey to
monitor progress and celebrate important milestones
A Flexible Program
Our learning programs are in-built with flexibility to be responsive to the child's learning journey and enhance the experience
The Child's Learning Journey
Compass offers a unique learning journey for children to experience
This is Compass through the child's eyes
My teachers guide me
I can be uniquely me
I learn and play with friends of different ages
