Fostering connection and awareness

Woodline Primary is a small school set on a 20-acre farm in the beautiful Geelong hinterland.

We have created a nurturing environment where you are welcomed with respect, presence, connection and care. A safe learning space where you can be free to question and explore. A place to be who you really are.

Connection is at the heart of every decision we make. We consciously foster an emotional connection with each child. This provides the foundations for a safe learning space. When we feel emotionally safe in our environment, our capacity for learning and growth flourishes. It gives us space to laugh, play and learn… all the joys of childhood.

Our safe learning space goes well beyond a non-punitive environment. The emotional wellbeing of each child is at the forefront of our approach. By creating a community in which each child feels that they truly belong, it feels safe and exciting to make mistakes because all insights are celebrated.

Honouring the whole child

Children are encouraged to be active creators of their lives. Our role is to create and hold space for them to appreciate their own uniqueness.
