Learning in our ELC
Bialik’s Early Learning Centre (ELC) encourages children as young as three develop a love of learning by guiding them into the more formal processes of learning in a nurturing, secure and stimulating environment designed to help children develop physically, emotionally, cognitively, socially and culturally. The environment and programs in our ELC are inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy. The children learn to make sense of the world by using imagination and reason, and by exploring the joys of learning through observation, experimentation and listening.

Learning in our Primary School
Albert Einstein said, ‘Imagination is more important than knowledge’, which is one reason we value the development of creativity at Bialik in the same way as we value the pursuit of academic excellence. To this end, our Primary School offers diverse learning opportunities enabling our students to not only develop sound literacy and numeracy skills but to also engage in a range of science, humanities, information technologies, creative arts and Jewish studies subjects to ensure their education has depth and breadth.

Learning in our Secondary School
As students begin to grow towards independence, Bialik encourages them to take control of their learning to create individually based outcomes. The Talmud states that, ‘Only the lesson enjoyed can be learned well’, and so Bialik makes an active effort to ensure learning is meaningful, relevant and fun with a range of electives to stretch our students’ imaginations, creativity and intellectual curiosity.

Learning in our VCE years
Because the VCE is, for most students, primarily about making choices and identifying pathways for their futures, Bialik helps its students choose appropriate career and learning pathways, while reminding them through structured and informal activities that there is more to life than their VCE ENTER scores. Bialik’s staff help students make wise choices to deliver optimum results, not just in terms of the ENTER but, more importantly, for their life direction and personal goals.
