U
Upper Primary School
(Years 4 – 6)
The Upper Primary School consolidates the foundational work of the lower primary and readies students for The Middle Years of Learning.
The curriculum and enrichment activities, both inside and outside the classroom, provide our students with opportunities to develop their Godgiven gifts and abilities. Our day starts at 8:30am and concludes at 3:10pm. The Upper Primary School staff deliver curriculum which meets the needs of preadolescent children. Our Upper Primary structures and routines assist the child to feel safe as they navigate these important years of education.
The subjects offered are:
- English (Literacy)
- Mathematics Integrated Studies
- Humanities and Social Sciences
- Science
- Physical Education
- Music
- Christian Life Skills
- Technology
- The Arts
- Library
The curriculum emphasises the development of competency in literacy and numeracy.
We use Sound Waves to help develop literacy skills in students through the use of flash cards, charts, Music, DVD and teacher instruction. Our Learning Enrichment staff provides extra learning support according to the individual needs of students.

Through our Responsible Thinking Process, students are encouraged to seek responsibility for their behaviours rather than controlling students through punishment. Through the use of pastoral care and the Responsible Thinking Process, students are encouraged to respect the rights of others to learn and be safe whilst striving to adhere to our college values of Christlikeness, Learning, Excellence, Attitude & Respect.
Year 5 & 6 students are members of our e-Learning program and bring iPads as part of their daily resources.
