Your son’s first experience with formal education is crucial; it can shape both how he views himself and his attitude to learning. Our Early Years Program is designed to support the unique learning needs of boys, with a strong emphasis on the literacy and numeracy skills that form the foundation for their future.
Our curriculum nurtures the natural curiosity of boys. It encourages exploration and discovery in a supportive, enriching, multi-sensory learning environment. Boys thrive when given opportunities to engage in hands-on learning that provides opportunities for movement and space; they love to construct, investigate, experiment and question. Through inquiry play-based learning, our teachers guide boys to discover and explore new concepts. We are dedicated to tailoring our teaching methods to support how boys learn best through intentional learning spaces suited to development, interest and need.
Completed in 2014, our purpose-built Early Learning Centre has a village-style feel and spacious, air-conditioned learning spaces. All classrooms open to outdoor courtyards, creating flexible indoor-outdoor learning areas that can be quickly and easily adapted for different activities. Not only is the space aesthetically inviting, but it also meets the needs of curious young boys who require space and diversity to further enrich their learning experiences in the early years of school.
Our Junior School provides an exciting boy-friendly experience. Everything from our teaching methods to our campus is designed around the needs of boys.
Class sizes are small, so each boy can receive the attention he needs. Our emphasis on literacy and numeracy ensures boys have a solid foundation and early intervention is provided to support and differentiate as and when required..To help your son discover his passions and talents, he will also receive specialist teaching in Art, Languages, Music, STEM and Physical Education. Boys thrive with structure and routine. We make sure they know what we expect and we help them take responsibility for their own learning. In this way, they develop independence, initiative and self-confidence within a safe, secure environment.
We also recognise that young boys have energy to burn; they need lots of room to move, play and explore. Our beautiful grounds and ovals give boys space and freedom to learn and grow.
