Junior School - Kindergarten to Year 6

Classroom practices establish the expectation and culture of learning; acceptance, respect and rapport are fundamental. Individual needs are met by the implementation of carefully constructed learning programmes and the assistance of specialist staff within the classrooms.

It is our vision that children should be motivated by their curiosity, learn to question and be empowered by their thinking. This ideal can be realised in classrooms that are vibrant, dynamic and challenging; where the processes and experiences are as important as the products and content.

Children are taught in inclusive classrooms where staff are trained to meet their needs. Our Junior School building is light, spacious, and free flowing. Wide corridors direct you to unwalled learning spaces which in turn move into group activity areas, patios or balconies on one side and multi-purpose areas on the other. Classrooms have networked computers and interactive whiteboards. The learning spaces are designed to stimulate the senses and evoke the power of the imagination.

The Library is a haven of tranquillity with fiction upstairs and the information collection downstairs utilising a tiered learning area. It is a place where the children can casually browse through the extensive fiction and non fiction and later access valuable material and references for their studies.

The six key learning areas are Creative Arts, English, Human Society and its Environment, Mathematics, Personal Development and Health Science and Technology. In addition, curriculum specialists teach French, Mathematics, Music, Physical Education, Research Skills and Visual Arts.
