Junior School

The primary years are a time of skill acquisition, equipping our students with the capabilities they will need to become effective lifelong learners. In small classes with exceptional teachers, students develop the confidence to become independent learners, willing to ask questions, listen to others and absorb new learning. Our students enjoy all the benefits of a separate, small primary school, while at the same time having full access to the outstanding facilities and opportunities offered as part of a whole-school approach to continuous learning.

Our Junior School Curriculum

The Junior School curriculum focuses on establishing strong skills in the key areas of literacy and numeracy, complemented by a diverse specialist program. E-learning also plays a prominent role in the curriculum, with a mixture of personal and shared devices provided for students. Planning for different rates and styles of learning is a key feature of our curriculum and our teachers are experts at adapting their lessons to include multiple delivery methods.

“We seek to provide an environment which nurtures and celebrates diversity in all its forms, understanding that our individual contributions can make a significant difference to our lives and the lives of others. Following a strengths-based approach, we value effort and recognise achievement, constantly striving to develop the social and emotional skills required to grow and manage adversity. Our teaching teams engage collaboratively, always exploring ways to meet our students at their level of needs.” Mrs Deb Krumples – Head of Junior School

We help our students grow and excel

The Junior School is a vibrant and active environment. Its educational climate is one of fostering self discovery and, more importantly, an atmosphere of positivity and inclusivity. School is seen as a welcoming and friendly place where each student takes increasing responsibility for their own personal learning journey. It provides a setting where intellectual, creative and social abilities can be developed to the full. Junior School hosts students from Prep (5 Years old) to Year 6 (12 Years old) before transition to our Middle School for Year 7.

Student Wellbeing

The Junior School’s pastoral care program includes regular opportunities to monitor and discuss each child’s welfare, with formal programs such as buddy activities, leadership opportunities and transition programs supporting the wellbeing of students. Programs such as MPower Girls, which discusses what happens in friendship groups and how this affects them, and Revved Up Boys, which helps boys understand feelings of anger or frustration, are just one of a range of strategies we use to help our students establish and maintain positive relationships. The comprehensive transition to a secondary school program commences mid-way through Year 6 with a series of visits, and linkages with students in Middle School.

The relationship between home and school is very important and, in partnership with parents, the School fosters an environment of respect, connectedness and wellbeing. There are many opportunities for parents to be involved, including reading activities, excursions, incursions, or via various parent groups. Parents are encouraged to speak with their child’s teacher should any questions or concerns arise.
