Junior School

Junior School is an exciting place to be! We have dedicated and enthusiastic teachers (Preschool to Year 3) as well as trained and caring teacher-aides to meet and nurture the educational needs of our students.

Teachers work closely in year levels and whole Junior School teams to develop rich tasks (units of work) that focus on the New Basics Curriculum with links to real life experiences and student interests, learning styles and development. We promote teachers working as a T.E.A.M and Together Everyone Achieves More!

Literacy and numeracy are a major focus of our Junior School program. Access to a wide range of information and communication technologies is available to all students and vital to their curriculum development.

A College approach is taken to monitoring and assessing children. This system supports good teaching practice and enables us to monitor and develop students' development so that they reach their full potential.

Parents and community support are integral in an effective early childhood environment. Parents are encouraged to become part of their child's education through various ways:

• STOP, LOOK and LISTEN - Really listening to children when they talk
• Classroom helpers - in the areas of reading, maths etc
• Becoming active members of the Parents and Citizens Association
• Promoting all the positives about the campus to family and friends
• Keeping the communication channels open between home and school

A variety of parent workshops focusing on reading development, handwriting, parenting skills etc will be on offer for parents throughout the year.
