This thoughtful contribution has brought a refreshed and inspiring touch to the play session environments, which emulate the St Nicholas Early Education setting. The funds have been used to purchase larger pieces of furniture, including shelving, dramatic play area furniture and resources, as well as resources supporting construction and loose parts play. Additionally, new pieces have been added to the quiet/book area, creating a more inviting space for learning and reflection.
These enhancements benefit the educators, trainees, and students who use this space as part of St Nicholas Pathways’ Immersion, SBAT, CONNEX, and professional learning programs. It also extends St Nicholas Pathways’ community reach, partnering with local families, secondary schools, and the wider St Nicholas community to help each child flourish in their educational journey.
“Investing in early education is absolutely critical. These children are our future, and it’s really important that we support them and put everything in place to give them the best chance possible,” said Jenny Chung, Executive Director and Fund Manager, Catholic Community Fund.
Both St Nicholas Pathways and the Catholic Community Fund are excited to witness the future of the early education sector and to see the growth and impact of the training provided by St Nicholas Pathways.
