Extracurricular Experiences

Brookes Street provides a holistic view toward education that extends beyond traditional literacy and numeracy skills and embrace a connection between mind, body and spirit.

Music

do-re-mi music for children is a Kodály-based singing program.

It caters for children from birth to 5 years at this centre. Fun-filled group lessons focus on aural development, beat, rhythm, listening and intune singing through movement, dance, playing instruments and singing games.

In addition to providing an excellent foundation for later instrumental or vocal studies, the program also provides opportunities for enhancing the child’s confidence and the development of important life-long learning skills including memory, concentration, motor coordination, and social skills.

Mindfulness and Yoga

Zen Ed aims to build resilience and mental fitness by further developing the participants emotional intelligence. Helping both children and adults realise their full potential and live a fulfilling life.

The programs use engaging, fun and age-related activities to build resilience and positive mental fitness outcomes for both children and adults.

Resilience is important mostly for our mental health. It is a life skill we take with us into adulthood. It is thought that the more resilient a person is, the better equipped to deal with life’s pressures and to overcome obstacles.

Language

Global research studies have shown that children who have learned a second language at a young age demonstrate cognitive advantages, strong problem-solving skills, enhanced memory, and creativity. It can also help children tackle abstract concepts, aid their complex decision making skills, and has even been shown to boost their literacy outcomes of the learner’s first language. At Brookes Street Early Education, we see these language experiences as a fun way for children to engage with cultures different to their own.

Physical Education

Delivering a combination of physical and emotional benefits, the Ready, Steady, Go program is designed to build confidence and self esteem, providing a platform of knowledge and boosting school readiness skills. The program is designed by a paediatric physiotherapist and occupational therapist. It aims to enhance children’s gross and fine motor skills, encourage their continued participation in sports and prepare them for the early school years.
