Junior School
Kindergarten - Year 6

From Kindergarten to Year 6, students are educated in predominantly single-gender classes in the Junior Girls' College or the Boy's Preparatory School, yet mix with one another during breaks, select activities and events all on the same co-educational campus.

This unique structure gives your child the best of both single-gender and co-ed schooling. We call it twin schooling.

Curriculum - Kindergarten to Year 6

Like all schools, we follow the core curriculum as outlined by the NSW Education Standards Authority, however our students benefit from additional lessons in languages (French and Chinese), music, choir, dance, drama, physical education and health, delivered by specialist teachers.

Using explicit teaching, we go beyond the standard curriculum to prepare students for the mastery of essential knowledge.

Using our explicit teaching strategies, we structure lessons to reduce unnecessary distractions, provide our students clear, direct instruction, and offer structured support for improved learning outcomes, increased engagement and a deeper understanding of concepts.

These evidence-based practices help students retain and apply what they learn with confidence.

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.

Music and choir, dance and drama are part of our weekly lessons. These take place in our onsite facilities, including the Performing Arts Centre and Music Cottage.

We provide a music program from Kindergarten onwards. Every child has the opportunity to learn an instrument. Musicians can play in a band, an ensemble, the orchestra or join the choir.

All Junior School students have dance classes during school hours. We offer numerous co-curricular opportunities for music, dance and drama.

Learn more about our co-curricular opportunities.

The Junior School has full access to all our sporting facilities, including a heated pool, multi-purpose playing fields, tennis and netball courts and an indoor sports centre.

Your child can discover and hone their skills in a wide range of sports, with opportunities in social and competitive/representative sports.

Our students explore the natural world through age-appropriate Outdoor Education Programs, starting with a one-day camp for our Year 2 students and overnight residential camps from Year 3 through to Year 6.

We focus on a different personal development skill each time, to encourage each child to step out of their comfort zone, grow as an individual and take on new challenges.

Kindergarten to Year 6 is a time of unparalleled development for children. Every day they’re learning who they are, how to build healthy relationships and how to approach and solve social and emotional challenges.

Our pastoral care programs provide a network of care and support for every child.

In addition to the ongoing attention from Form class teachers and buddies, students also benefit from our gender-specific programs on self-esteem, fostering healthy relationships, dealing with challenging relationships and more. Learn more about pastoral care at Pittwater House.

We offer our families an After School Care service, here on campus, so your child can move safely and easily from school to care. This service is available from Monday to Friday and operates from 3:00 - 5:30pm for students from Pre-Kindy to Year 6.
