Currambena Primary & Preschool

Wonderful life skills discovering emotions and providing acceptance !

With a very different approach to education which Currambena call Democratic Education, my most striking observation is the in regard to the high maturity and thoughtfulness of the children that they produce. One of my children attended their preschool program for two years, and while we opted for more conventional schools for senior years I can definitely see the benefits of Currambena's approach.

Nice school, heaps to do here!

We have nothing but praise for this amazing school and community. My little one studied here for 4 years till she decided to go elsewhere. Her decision to make the move to a bigger school (that follows a similar philosophy to Currambena) is an example of one of the many skills and tools she learned at this school (this was a big decision for an 8 year old). The teachers are extremely dedicated to their students; during the COVID lockdown we had 100% support from the teacher at the time and my daughter thrived during this period. I was also able to eavesdrop during class time and I loved how her teacher interacted with everyone equally and gave enough one-on-one support to each student. The school is a small, intimate one and this allows for everyone to know each other, have friendships all across the years and build a sense of belonging. These kids have incredible empathy towards others and a sense of accountability which I dont see as much among non-currambena kids. They are each others' cheer leading squad!!!! super supportive and encouraging, which is beautiful to witness. we will always be grateful to Currambena staff, teachers, parents and students for the beautiful experience we had during our time here.

This is a great school with a very nice way of teaching. My son went to elementary school here and he thought it was wonderful. The equipment they have for the students is very good and every year a new thing is added to the school. the facilities are good, even if there are not a lot and their way of teaching amazes me. Great school.
