Upper school students build independence, leadership, and academic rigour. They engage in deeper exploration of literacy, numeracy, specialist subjects, and wellbeing while preparing for the transition to secondary school.

​

Literacy & Writing
Students analyze complex texts, develop critical thinking, and compose a range of fiction and non-fiction texts. Writing includes planning, drafting, editing, and publishing, with a focus on grammar, style, and voice.

​

Numeracy
Students refine skills across all operations, fractions, decimals, measurement, geometry, and data, applying strategies in real-life contexts. Problem-solving and reasoning are emphasized.

​

Knowledge Building / Integrated Curriculum
Students continue to explore Science, History, Geography, and Civics, developing analytical skills and global awareness.

​

Wellbeing
Focus on resilience, relationships, digital wellbeing, and personal development continues through weekly lessons and school programs.

​

Student Leadership 
The Junior School Council empowers students to represent their peers, lead projects, organize fundraising, contribute to the community, and provide feedback that shapes school life.  The House and School Captains plan and organise whole school events and represent our school at important events.
