Belinda’s eldest daughter began attending Banksia Montessori School in 2012, for the 3-year, Cycle 1 Program. Her other 2 children also attended Banksia and graduated from the program.
Belinda began working part time as the School’s Administration Officer in her youngest child’s graduating year at Banksia in 2018.
“When people ask me what I think of Banksia, I tell them that I love the school so much, they can’t get rid of me.”
“I fell in love with the Montessori philosophy and was amazed at the developmental growth of each child in reaching their potential. My eldest child began as one of the quietest children in the classroom and she blossomed into a confident, independent young lady. I have no doubt in my mind attending Banksia was a major contributor to this.”
For Belinda, choosing Banksia as her children’s first experience at school made perfect sense.
“They say the first 7 years of a child’s life are the most important in laying down a foundation for how they communicate and interact with the world. I wanted to give my children the best start. Banksia has a warm and friendly community and it’s small size is a perfect introduction to school.”
