In the Primary Years (Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6), your child will develop a desire to explore, broaden their thinking and build strong foundations in the core Learning Areas. Our supportive, inclusive environment ensures each child is understood and valued as an individual. Our innovative educators spark students’ curiosity, awe and wonder, inspiring a real love of learning that will be instilled and continued long into the future.
Educational programs are engaging and challenging, with a focus on meeting individualised learning needs. Students remain with their class teacher for the core learning areas of English, Mathematics, Science and Humanities and Social Sciences. Class teachers also focus on the wellbeing of your child, ensuring that their safety, social and emotional needs are met, checking in regularly. Our specialist teachers take their classes in dedicated facilities for Art, Music, Physical Education, Library and Modern Greek Studies. Religion is also a compulsory subject in the Primary Years.
