Years 3 to 6


In Years 3 to 6, we nurture global citizens who love learning, have a well-developed sense of self-worth, care for the environment, appreciate and respect others and possess strong ethics.

Our approach to learning involves the whole community. This includes staff, children, and parents. We believe that by working together, we can create a harmonious, nurturing environment for students. Our aim is to help them develop a high level of personal integrity. Additionally, we aim to foster competence in forming moral judgments. Individual responsibility is also a key focus. Last but not least, we strive to instil a sincere sense of respect and concern for others and our environment. Our Junior School Honour Code of Kindness, Respect, Resilience and Honesty underpins all aspects of teaching and learning.

Our classroom programs and rich specialist teaching areas focus on challenging each student, nurturing her talents and helping her to discover her best. Our comprehensive support system ensures early intervention for girls experiencing difficulties, whether academically, socially, or emotionally, as well as greater challenges for more academically able students.

Our Teaching Philosophy

In Years 3 to 6, we develop capable students who have a strong moral compass and desire to look after their environment – now and in the future.
