Junior curriculum and specialist subjects
Our curriculum pushes the boundaries of your child’s academic abilities while helping them grow into independent learners capable of creative and critical thinking.
Our students benefit from additional lessons in languages (French and Chinese), music, choir, dance, drama, physical education and health, delivered by specialist teachers.
Pre-Kindy curriculum
The Pre-Kindy curriculum centres on foundation skills and knowledge to prepare the students for a successful transition into Kindergarten.
Using a combination of the Early Learning Years Framework and elements of NESA’s Early Stage 1 core Key Learning Areas, the curriculum acknowledges that play is the best vehicle for early learning as it provides the most appropriate stimuli for brain development.
Expert Teaching Staff
The curriculum is delivered by the class teacher, an assistant and a combination of specialist teachers in sport, music, library and languages, providing a rich and diverse learning environment that nurtures curiosity and growth.

Individual attention in small classes
We keep our class sizes small so teachers can cater to your child’s learning needs, style and ability.
Our teachers pay close attention to your child. They notice when your child is struggling. They notice when they are ready for more challenges. They know how to engage and encourage students. Through this level of attention, our teachers are able to provide your child with the support they need to thrive.
