In 2018, the Victorian Government announced an Australian first, School Readiness Funding (SRF) – a program designed to give all Victorian children an equal chance to thrive.

School Readiness Funding is a permanent part of the Victorian kindergarten funding model. It supports children in all funded kindergarten services in Victoria and is available for a variety of early childhood settings. 

Bonkers Beat is a Victorian DET School Readiness Funding Approved Provider and has a number of options available. 

Bonkers Beat Programs empower educators, support families, improve the quality of educational programs and enhance children’s learning.

They are a great choice for improving children’s outcomes and allocating your funding.

The Bonkers Beat Music Programs put music at the core of early childhood education. The programs use the approaches of Kodály and Orff, to enhance children’s development and help prepare them for life. 

Bonkers Beat programs improve children’s health, overall wellbeing, boost children’s school readiness, support educators professional development, help services to connect with families and develop collaborative partnerships with communities.

The programs provide opportunities for parents to use educational resources at home which further improves children’s participation and developmental benefits.
