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 instill a sincere sense of respect and concern for others and our environment.

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 that there is early intervention for girls are experiencing difficulties and increased challenges for more academically able students.
