Students in Year 2-6 are able to enjoy the beautiful setting of the Junior School campus, which includes several playgrounds including the Tree Tops Playground, outdoor basketball courts, an oval, a basin area surrounded by trees, and a Multi-Purpose Centre space for indoor activities.
Classrooms are fully air-conditioned and enable a more flexible approach to student learning.
Learning spaces are set up to provide a stimulating and caring environment where students have opportunities to further build on the Literacy and Numeracy Skills from the Early Years as well as build and extend their critical thinking and collaborative learning skills. PBL (Project Based Learning) is a contemporary research-based teaching and learning approach is designed to develop inquiry skills, deeper understanding and learning connections for future academic growth. Our teachers are constantly looking for authentic educational experiences that connect our students to the world in which they live.
Subject-specific specialist teachers support the work of classroom teachers in Mandarin, Japanese (Years 5 & 6), Music and HPE. Digital Technologies classes are incorporated into the Year 5 and 6 curriculum and Visual Arts is also offered to Year 6 students as they transition into the Senior School.
Cross campus learning and off campus excursions provide students with experiences to discover many new real world opportunities during the primary years. They begin to see themselves as independent and active participants in the world around them.
The extensive music and sporting co-curricular opportunities allow students to engage in a number of different sporting teams, ensembles, choirs and performance groups.
