Mindstretch News: Great Teams Teach Best

At Mindstretch, we commit to helping every child thrive. We do this by ensuring exceptional teachers who foster a positive, forward-looking environment built on kindness, collaboration, and the free exchange of creative ideas. By working together, we ensure every learner reaches their full potential. 

Recognizing Excellence with Team Awards

Teamwork takes center stage at Mindstretch School.

Our teachers and aides collaborate closely: sharing ideas, solving challenges, and assisting one another as needed.

Our Term 3 team awards were:

  • Jenna & Aahmina: for outstanding positivity and kindness in the ECD level 2 class.
  • Jenna: for inspiring a ‘Growth Mindset’ for all.
  • Nono: for stepping into enthusiastic leadership whenever needed.

Please join us in thanking our team!

Sponsoring Our Staff's Ongoing Learning

At Mindstretch, we’re committed to supporting our team’s growth through continuing education that our school sponsors.

We’re pleased to report that all our teaching staff have now completed training in gross motor skills theory and activities.

Gross motor skills are essential for young children’s development, and so we make sure to include these activities in our daily schedule.

Prioritizing Celebratory Pop-Ups

We also take time to celebrate growth and mark milestones with genuine joy — as reflected in these Spring Day and Heritage Day photos.

Such moments are essential. They remind our children that learning is a source of enjoyment, and strengthen the sense of connection and collaboration within our team

Great Teachers are the Heart of Education. 

Ilyaas's Story Tells it Truth

It takes everyone working together to achieve the absolute best for a learner. The teachers, teacher aides, Principal Jennifer, and our loving parents. It takes a village, no-one can do it alone.

As Ilyaas’s parents note in this beautiful new tribute: “We firmly believe that no challenge is insurmountable, but it takes faith, a fair amount of grit and determination and, most importantly, collaboration to overcome  any challenges.”

Finding Creative Solutions for Best Outcomes

We loved this creative exercise introduced by our teaching staff. Here, Ilyaas keeps his precious golden egg safe while working on his drawing — it’s a playful way to support a healthy posture and engaged learning.
