Educating for life

IT is true, you never stop learning.
Yorke Peninsula is incredibly lucky to have a range of educational institutions — from child care and all the way to higher education.
But learning isn’t ever limited to the classroom and for the youngest members of our communities, there are plenty of ways families can help their children become confident and enthusiastic learners.
“Parents don’t need to be experts — supporting and encouraging your child will give them the best start in their learning,” a Department for Education spokesperson said.
“When your family does things together you build and encourage a positive approach to learning.
“A family that learns together reads together, has a quiet space to unwind or do homework, has plenty of ways to learn at home and supports social and emotional wellbeing.
“You can record facts, address envelopes and write a letter to a relative, you can chat when you travel to and from school.
“You even learn when you play a game, cook and bake, set the table, sort the recycling and match shapes and pictures.”
