My learning journey at kindergarten

Being proud and strong — children have a strong sense of identity (for example, the ways I show pride in who I am and where I come from, my resilience and confidence, and my ability to make choices and decisions and cope with change)

Being an active participant — children connect with and contribute to their world (for example, the ways I show awareness of belonging to groups and communities, how I interact in relation to others, respond to diversity with respect, show awareness of fairness and respect for environments)

Being healthy and safe — children have a strong sense of wellbeing (for example, the ways I show that I feel safe, secure and supported, my ability to take responsibility for my own health and physical wellbeing and my active engagement in physical activity)

Being a learner — children are confident and involved learners (for example, the ways I show confidence in myself as a knower and learner through dispositions such as curiosity, creativity and imagination, problem-solving, experimentation and investigation of environments, and engagement with digital technologies)

Being a communicator — children are effective communicators (for example, the ways I interact verbally and non-verbally with others in FL/s or SAE, my engagement with texts and interest in exploring reading and writing behaviours, and my interest in symbols and pattern systems, counting and mathematical thinking and concepts)
