Welcome to Junior School

Head of School: Ms Grace Piccardi
Cluster Leader: Mrs Fiona Christie

The Junior School is located on the Balmoral Street Campus. It is co-educational and caters for two streams of students in Years 3-6.

The Junior School's curriculum reflects the College's vision to create an educational community centred in Christ where opportunities are provided for students to develop in all areas: spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical and social. Specialist teachers in the areas of Music, Drama, Physical Education, Languages Other Than English (LOTE), Library Studies and Student Support assist classroom teachers and students to achieve these aims.

        

The focus in the Junior School is to consolidate and build on the skills acquired in the Preparatory School and to use these skills to further student learning. Emphasis is given to developing independent learners with higher-level thinking skills, problem solving skills, communication skills and social skills. We believe that this emphasis, nurtured in a faith community based on Catholic values, will prepare our students for a technological world where flexibility, adaptability and well-developed thinking skills will define success.
