Catholic Education Kindergartens are committed to providing a quality early childhood program where every child’s physical, emotional, spiritual and social development is met in a safe, caring, challenging and supportive environment.

Our university qualified kindergarten teachers implement a Queensland Approved Kindergarten Program (the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline) developed by the Queensland Curriculum & Assessment Authority.

A Catholic Kindergarten in the Diocese of Rockhampton is dedicated to nurturing the holistic development of each child - spiritually, cognitively, physically, socially, emotionally and aesthetically. Guided by the Religious Understandings and Spirituality Framework for Kindergartens, Early Years Learning Framework for Kindergartens, Early Years Learning Framework and Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline our mission is to:

  • Reflect on the life and teaching of Jesus in all our practices
  • Foster an environment of play-based learning that extends on children's interests, prior knowledge and strengths
  • Cultivate meaningful, positive and safe relationships and interactions
  • Establish an inclusive community that provides support, encouragement and assistance
  • Celebrate the unique qualities of all children
  • Value Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures
