Our Junior School is a wonderful place for young children to be introduced to creative and engaging learning and College life.
Children are supported to grow in their understanding of themselves, to become more independent and to co-operatively connect and communicate with others and the community.
Within the learning program, children are challenged and supported to develop foundational and deep understandings and connections. Literacy and numeracy are a high priority and are developed across all learning areas with a comprehensive phonics program and additional, intensive support provided according to need.
The purpose-built learning space is an exciting and engaging place to learn. It allows for flexible teaching, assemblies and gatherings, creative performance and specialist spaces.
The Junior School curriculum is based on the Australian Curriculum and taught from a Biblical, Christian worldview. Our teaching includes traditional, explicit instruction as well as inquiry and investigation designed around single or multiple learning areas. The Key Learning Areas covered in the curriculum are:
