We believe that Primary students learn best when:
Underpinning our practice, we align to the College principles of teaching: Love, Laughter and Learning.
Love
We understand that the development of meaningful relationships in a supportive classroom environment is crucial in allowing our students to achieve academic excellence. Our students in the Junior College have very specific learning, social and emotional needs as they move from early childhood towards early adolescence. The development of meaningful relationships between the teacher and student supports the students in reaching their full potential.
Laughter
In the Junior College, we recognise the importance of creating a supportive classroom environment where learning is active, fun-filled and full of laughter, and where planning involves careful and considered use of strategies for academic engagement. Students show enthusiasm for their work by raising questions, contributing to group activities and helping peers.
Learning
Within our programs we plan and design learning experiences to allow students to develop deep understanding and higher order thinking skills (HOT), including critical and creative thinking. This is when students are able to understand relationships between concepts and apply this new knowledge to solve problems, construct explanations, and draw conclusions.
