Primary Years
Our primary years teams work to provide a vibrant, personal and exciting learning environment for all children. All students are known as individuals and programs are tailored for each and every learner.
In our Early Years Learning Centre we focus on literacy and numeracy, as well as providing a broad range of specialist learning opportunities for children. Teachers plan collaboratively to develop a purposeful and logical learning program from Prep through to Grade 2.
A structured take-home reading program is a key component of our approach to the teaching of literacy.
Effective assessment is critical to ensure that we tailor our teaching to the needs of students. We use a range of assessment tools to establish the level at which your child is working. Using that as a starting point, together we plan a learning program for your child.

- Benefit from small class sizes
