Blockhouse Bay Playcentre

"Assessment processes are well-established. Centre members contribute to children's portfolios and encourage each other to make meaningful entries about the child, with a focus on progress over time. Evaluation meetings at the end of each session are prompting centre members to think more deeply about the value of the play they have observed. Planning is thoughtful, well recorded and about outcomes for children."

Assessment, planning and evaluation processes are well-established and thoughtful.

"Centre members are highly culturally responsive. They encourage their members to feel confident in sharing their cultures and using their home languages both in writing and speaking. Families share cultural festivals, values and beliefs as part of programmes."
