All families in our wider community are welcome to attend our Learning for Life sessions from Week 2 of every term, each Wednesday.

At Mount Carmel College our Learning for Life program is part of the Set Up for Success initiative, a free early years program prompting a love for learning for both young children (Birth – 5 years) and their families. 

What can you expect from Learning for Life?

Our experienced Early Years staff develop weekly programs to meet the needs of children within our local community, inspired by Christian values. Each week our Learning for Life sessions will support the holistic development of individual children with a variety of play-based educational activities.

As part of the learning experience, children must attend sessions with a parent or carer who are responsible for their children at all times. Children should wear comfortable and weather appropriate clothing (spare clothes are recommended).

Attending these weekly sessions is a great opportunity to get to know our College and meet some early childhood trained staff in a nurturing environment. It also gives parents and carers the chance to connect with other families and encourages social skill development in your child.

Session Times and Location

Learning for Life is run out of our Early Learning Centre (ELC) on Wednesdays. The ELC is accessible from both our Sandy Bay Road and Nelson Road entrances. Mount Carmel College is located at 361 Sandy Bay Road, Sandy Bay (opposite Wrest Point Casino). If you require pram and/or level access, please use the car park entrance off Sandy Bay Road. 

Are there costs?

There are no costs for attending the program. We kindly ask that all families bring their own drink bottles and snacks.
