Primary Years
The Primary Years are a formative time. The College’s friendly, caring environment nurtures individual growth and learning as academic, social, physical, emotional, and spiritual foundations are encouraged and developed in young lives. Collaboratively, our Primary staff work to maximise learning opportunities for each student in a technology-rich environment, ensuring that curriculum is taught through a biblical worldview.
We understand and recognise that each child is unique, with different talents, areas of interest, and learning strengths. Academic programs are designed to provide each student with the opportunity to master foundational skills in all aspects of the curriculum, with a particular focus on literacy and numeracy.
Based on National Education Standards Authority (NESA) syllabuses, we provide a stimulating differentiated curriculum to meet the full range of needs and abilities of students in each Stage of learning.

In the Primary Years, students are supported to engage deeply in learning, both in academic knowledge and the skills needed to be effective learners. Our goal is to grow students who pilot their own learning, understanding their own strengths and weaknesses and setting challenging learning goals. Additionally, we aim that students understand the value of learning in community. Through collaborative learning experiences our students learn to work effectively with others towards common goals, seek to understand what others are saying and respond compassionately.
We assist Primary Years students to understand that mistakes, struggle and failure are a natural part of the learning cycle as these situations allow for time to stretch and grow different learning skills. Students are supported to develop skills to utilise when they become stuck in their learning, developing confidence in their learning ability and independence in their learning journey.
