In Spanish
At In Spanish, we follow a story based approach split into thematic units. We believe in Immersion Education and we use everyday life vocabulary In Spanish. We balance content that is fun and educational, as we know kids learn best by playing and having fun. Each class we do stories, songs, movement, pretend play and games In Spanish. We give children a sense of achievement, which helps them develop self-confidence. The program complies with the Australia’s early years learning framework.
Kumon Lane Cove
Kumon is a “tutoring program, originating in Japan, in which children improve their skills in a subject (especially mathematics) by completing worksheets of increasing difficulty, led by a special instructor.”
The Lane Cove branch offers after school tutoring, four days a week. They are located under Hot Dollar, on Lane Cove Plaza. ITC highly recommends Kumon if you are looking for a program to give your child confidence with Maths or Reading. Find our more here
Ballet Stuff
Hidden at the Rosenthal Carpark end of Atrium Plaza, Ballet Stuff stocks very reasonable priced dance and gym gear. Their Best Seller Ballet Pack – which includes shoes, leotard, tights & skirt – is a really affordable way to get the entire outfit. This pack contains premium quality dancewear drastically cheaper than you will find in any retail outlet. It is a great Christmas Gift for little dancers.
KEEP THOSE PRECIOUS SCHOOL MEMORIES IN THE ONE PLACE
The My School Years Book is the perfect way to help your child keep a lasting memory of their school years, from Kindy to Year 12. Each page of this memory book provides a large pocket for you to keep awards, drawings, certificates, report cards, photos and other mementos. My School Years is a special place for you to safely keep these precious memories. You and your child will love looking back through this book again and again.
Exactly what I expected and can’t wait to fill in – great follow on from the books you get when your children are first born to five years old – so important to capture the memories and this is a great way to do it. Wow, bought this for my little boy as a keepsake, so looking forward to filling it in together and looking back over it through the years, lovely how there is room for photos, certificates in little folders, i wish i had the same thing when i was young.
