JUNIOR SCHOOL: Kindergarten - Year 4
The Junior School curriculum meets all NSW Board of Studies
requirements, with Kindergarten building on the good work
carried out in the Prep Class.
Mastering the fundamental skills of Numeracy and Literacy
is a priority in Junior School, along with laying the foundations
of a positive and purposeful approach to all learning and extra-
curricular activities.
Children who join Junior School in Kindergarten, or in later
years, are quickly made a welcome member of the school
community, by a peer based buddy system and the care and
attention of their teacher.
