Our Program
Our program has a substantial focus on the outdoors and outdoor education which teaches students the skills of “working together as a group, problem-solving in practical ways, leadership, appreciating nature, appreciating our bodies for their power and strength (not just because of how they look), learning organisation and time-management, gaining independence, and developing persistence (Melbourne Child Psychology).
Each location employs a qualified Nominated Supervisor and other Educators for the day-to-day running of their location. Qualified staff bring a high level of child development knowledge, high level of observation skills and the ability to work intentionally to ensure students’ needs are met.
Saints Academy works in close partnership with the Colleges to achieve better outcomes for children. There is much opportunity through working in partnership, to optimise students’ engagement with school leading to increased interest in academic performance and aspirations of higher learning.
Saints Academy operates in the hours before (Gosford) and following the formal school day and caters for students in Junior and Middle School. Holiday programs also operates in all Saints Academy locations.
