Biggies 5/6

During the upper primary years children are encouraged to take greater responsibility for their learning, aiming for the independence and intrinsic motivation expected in the high school setting. Children are encouraged to set themselves challenges and goals and to reflect on their own learning.

Investigations and activities in numeracy and literacy are structured to ensure that the children gain competency in the fundamental concepts in each area.

These foundations give children the confidence and capability to communicate their ideas and opinions. In our commitment to the education of the ‘whole child’ activities such as orienteering, rock climbing, squash, bush walking and outdoor camping compliment the academic program.

In both the classroom and wider learning environments, activities are structured so children develop the skills of leadership and the ability to function effectively as a part of a team.
