Our Drouin site is situated in a rural area of West Gippsland. The main street, local shops, a train station, a transport hub, and public schools are all close to the centre.

Our primary teaching method at Goodstart Drouin is to highlight each child's unique skills and abilities. We aim to make the kids fully prepared for school and equipped with the necessary skills they need for the next stage of their early learning.

Grounds
Our rooms are spacious and nicely furnished. We provide children with educational aids like kid’s games, books, and learning resources to pique their curiosity.

There are three outdoor play and leisure areas fit for various ages. We set up the space to support their developmental needs and encourage them to learn as they play and engage. The educators watch over the children while giving them opportunities to gain independence, interact, and make sense of the world around them.

Nutritional Policy
Breakfast, lunchtime, tea break, and a late snack are all available at the centre. Our meals are fresh and nutritious, and we also accommodate kids with food sensitivities. Every day, our on-site chef creates healthy, fresh meals. We plan our meals around the children's dietary needs and serve delicious meals they'll surely enjoy.

Communication
Our centre places a lot of emphasis on how working closely with the larger community may improve the kids' educational opportunities. Thus, we strive to work with families and keep them updated about how things are at the centre and how their kids are faring. We value parents' feedback and even encourage it. We pursue whatever promotes the betterment of our learning institution.

Through visits to the centre as well as trips and involvement in community events, we are able to broaden the connection between the centre and the larger society while teaching these kids about being active members of society.

Let's work together to get your kids equipped for life and school. We're looking forward to meeting you!

At Garfield Primary School our students 'Aim for the Stars'. This is the title of our School Wide Positive Behaviour Support framework which underpins all that we do. Through focusing on developing positive learning and social behaviours, our students are continually developing the skills to become positive and active members of the community. Our students engage in focused, multiage learning sessions to learn explicit skills around our key values of Safety, Respect and Learning and this has had an enormous impact on building our school culture into the wonderful culture that it is. 

To complement our relentless focus on developing the core literacy and numeracy skills of all learners, our school also offers a wide range of extracurricular opportunities to ensure we are providing a very well rounded learning experience for our students.

We are extremely lucky to have such a beautiful learning environment for our students, boasting large flexible learning spaces and impressive playground and outdoor facilities. Our school was completely rebuilt in 2012, with our new learning spaces opening for the beginning of the 2013 school year. Our learning facilities are vibrant, open spaces that provide students with a range of experiences in their daily learning that is not possible in other settings.   

Our school holds a rich history and with that comes a great amount of pride. I would like to offer an invitation to anyone who would like to learn more about the fantastic things happening at our school and encourage you to contact me to arrange a personalised tour to see how we can support your child becoming an active, motivated and caring learner.
