The Hub Rutherford is surrounded with natural bushland and situated in its own small little community, we boast 6 large rooms that are designed to be the extension of the home and create a sense of tranquil belonging. The centre is fitted with natural timber elements that extend onto leafy welcoming décor with a mix of soft and inviting textures.
Alex Donnelly
RUTHERFORD CENTRE DIRECTOR
Director’s Philosophy
I believe that children learn through play within an environment which provides them the opportunity to feel safe, secure and supported. I am passionate about the use of the environment as the ‘third teacher’. I believe an environment which is inviting, stimulating and inclusive supporting each child and their interests allows children to develop as capable and competent learners. I strongly value partnerships with both families and communities as families play an important and essential role in their child’s life.
Our Learning Space
We are equipped with a large outdoor area that is growing into a hands-on bush garden and sustainable learning space that also houses our very own chickens, our outdoor space is set out to provide quality learning environments for all abilities which houses its very own water pump at the ready for play.
Our Community
We love our community and are deeply committed to our many partnerships, such as our intergenerational program which connects different generations, ‘community pantry’ and many other sustainable projects for our children to be involved in.
Our Class Rooms
At The Hub children are grouped according to age. We split children into six rooms called:
