Inspiring a Love of Learning
The Journey
The Junior School journey encompasses both the Early Years and Upper Years programs. Our Early Years program builds literacy and numeracy skills, while also developing social and emotional skills.
In Upper Years, students develop important analytical and problem-solving skills. Realworld examples help learners grow and apply their knowledge. Our approach helps students to build their knowledge and broaden their horizons.
Explicit Direct Instruction
Crucial to our teaching method are carefully planned and organised lessons. This enables teachers to give clear and simple instructions. They demonstrate tasks to help students grasp concepts. Students are enabled to achieve and progress is checked regularly with helpful feedback given to support their continued growth.
- I do.
Our experienced, caring teachers guide students step by step, showing them how to learn. Their clear explanations help students feel more confident. They know exactly what to do. Our approach makes new ideas easier to grasp. - We do.
With the help of their teacher, students work together to learn each step. Our teachers create a friendly space where everyone can grow their skills together. Our teachers have a strong bond with students. They feel safe asking for help and feedback. - You do.
Students now tackle tasks with newfound assurance. Even though the teacher is ready to assist, we encourage students to trust their abilities. This method encourages learners to develop skills independently. As students tackle challenges, they become more capable with each task.
Social Emotional Learning
COGS
We exceed the National Curriculum for every student by offering unique programs through our COGS initiative. We provide experiences that enhance literacy, numeracy, and more. Our aim is to spark curiosity in all learners. Select students receive extra challenges through specialised extension programs to nurture advanced growth.
