The Junior School is a place of energy, activity, bright smiling faces and exciting opportunities for students. Every day is full of new experiences. Not only do our Junior School teachers provide learning in the classroom that is fun, challenging and engaging, but we also provide for our students many other learning and sharing experiences beyond the classroom.
Each of the classroom teachers, specialist teachers and support staff work together as a team to allow each child to become an independent, responsible learner.
The Junior School campus is designed to offer each child a happy, secure, caring, creative and nurturing environment where students will have the opportunity to grow and develop holistically. In terms of Pastoral Care, we focus on each child as an individual ensuring that their personal needs are met.
Come and take a look at our Junior School at one of our upcoming College Tours. We'd love the opportunity to show you around our modern, spacious facilities.
