Tours & Information Sessions

Discover Margaret River Montessori School

We warmly invite prospective families to visit our beautiful Primary School and Adolescent Program campuses and experience Montessori education in action. Guided by Maria Montessori’s philosophy, our programs are designed to nurture creative, capable and independent young people with a lifelong love of learning. Tours and information sessions provide an opportunity to meet our Principal, explore our learning environments, and gain a deeper understanding of the Montessori journey from early childhood through to adolescence. Bookings for all tours and sessions can be made via the links below. If your preferred date is fully booked, we encourage you to join the waitlist through the booking link.

 

As part of the enrolment process, families are generally asked to attend a tour relevant to their child’s year level:

  • Families applying for Year 6 and below are asked to attend both the Primary School and Adolescent Program tours.
  • Families applying for Year 7 and above are asked to attend the Adolescent Program tour.

We understand that for families with younger children, visiting the Adolescent Program may feel far in advance. However, this helps families gain an understanding of the full educational pathway available at our school. The order in which families choose to tour and apply may vary depending on their familiarity with Montessori education and our community.

 

Attendance for the information sessions are not a mandatory part of the application process. Families come to Montessori with varying levels of knowledge and experience, and not every family will feel they require these sessions. That said, we highly recommend attending where possible, as it offers a valuable opportunity to better understand the transitions and the broader Montessori journey at Margaret River Montessori School. 

Primary School Tour

Explore our Primary School campus and experience the Montessori environment firsthand. We generally prefer that students do not attend the Primary School tour. However, if childcare is unavailable or this is not suitable for your family, please contact us to discuss adding your child to the booking. What to expect during the tour:

  • Meet our Principal, Lisa, who facilitates the tour alongside our Enrolments Officer.
  • Learn about Montessori education, our learning spaces, and the structure of the Primary School program.
  • Ask questions throughout the walk-through and discussion.
  • Enjoy time at the conclusion of the tour for further conversation and questions.

Please see booking links below:

Adolescent Program Tour

Visit our Adolescent Program campus and gain insight into Montessori education for adolescents within our unique farm-based environment. We warmly encourage children aged 10 years and above to attend this tour. If your child has not been booked and is able to attend, please let us know so they can be added to the booking. Families with younger children are also welcome to contact us if childcare is unavailable. Please note that the Adolescent Program campus is located on a working farm environment with water bodies and active farm spaces present. Children must remain with the tour group at all times and be supervised by their parent or guardian throughout the visit. What to expect during the tour:

  • Meet our Principal, Lisa, alongside our Enrolments Officer.
  • Receive an overview of Montessori education and the structure of the Adolescent Program.
  • Oppertunity for discussion and questions throughout the experience.
  • Walk through the classrooms and grounds during morning break to experience the environment in action.
  • Hear directly from current students through an informal Q&A session - students are invited on the morning of the tour to volunteer for this conversation. On the rare occasion that no students are available due to study commitments or other reasons, this portion may be skipped. However, we almost always have students’ volunteer. We intentionally do not organise this in advance so visiting families can experience authentic, unrehearsed perspectives from our students.

Beginning the Montessori Journey - Information Session

A gentle introduction to Montessori education for families considering an early start within our Junior Primary environment.

This session is designed for families with children from infancy through to Kindergarten age who would like to better understand:

  • Montessori education in the early years
  • Transitioning into school life
  • The benefits of beginning earlier within the Montessori environment
  • The Junior Primary journey (E2, E1, Kindergarten & Pre-Primary)
  • Independence, routine, emotional readiness and social development

 

These sessions are new to the school and run for approximately 30 minutes. These sessions are intentionally kept brief to support the busy schedules and routines of young families. The idea is that these will be held once per term, mid-term, on an ongoing basis. Children are welcome to attend; however, parents and guardians remain responsible for supervision throughout the session.
