Our Junior School welcomes girls Years 0 to 3 (ages 5–7)
We believe in the potential of young women to change the world for good. This pivotal stage lays the foundation for lifelong learning and development. The early years are a time to nurture cognitive, emotional, and physical growth, ensuring that children develop the ability to think critically, solve problems, and express themselves effectively.
Age-appropriate activities enhance creativity and curiosity, growing enthusiastic and confident learners. Social skills are introduced through collaborative play, structured classroom interactions, and exposure to specialist subjects.
We believe in celebrating individuality with diverse opportunities across academics, arts, and sports enabling each girl to discover her unique learning journey.
Curriculum
Our skilled educators harness the excitement and energy of our junior girls in their delivery of foundational subjects. This period is critical for learning mathematics, reading, and writing.
Our explicit and structured approach, in addition to our class sizes, means that all girls’ learning needs are catered for in a differentiated environment, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed. Beyond-academic excellence students participate in the SPARK programme (vertically-structured design-based integrated learning), enabling them to broaden their horizons and spur new passions.
Technology is introduced in a protected environment. Students in Years 0 to 2 access iPads at a 1:2 ratio, progressing to laptops in Year 3. In the classroom, students are guided on responsible use of digital tools to facilitate learning.
Fostering Creativity
Our Junior School offers contemporary visual-art learning in our art room on the second level of the custom-built, ‘Maker Space’, in addition to our specialist Visual Art space in the Specialist block. These collaborative areas are equipped with everything a budding artist needs to pursue their chosen medium, including paint, pastel, print, and clay sculpture. An in-house kiln fires our clay creations of various shapes.
Art learning unfolds progressively, with student artwork proudly displayed year-round.
Igniting the Arts
Music, speech and drama provide a canvas for creative expression, building confidence, perseverance, and teamwork.
Our itinerant music programme is available to all students and delivered by our specialised educators. Girls have plenty of opportunities to grow and excel in music, whether through singing or orchestra. Our Vox Box for Year 3–5 singers are held weekly.
Students derive immense value from speechmaking and the dramatic arts. To prepare, perform, and hone their writing and delivery skills, every student enjoys a weekly lesson as part of our core curriculum. Every year the Junior School holds a Poetry Showcase, to highlight the girls’ skills in writing as well as reciting original and published poetry works.
Growing Tomorrow's Athletes
Our girls enjoy a wide array of sports. All codes are led by dedicated teaching and coaching staff, providing a platform for exploration, fitness, and fun.
Athletics, ball skills for all major codes, cross country, flippa ball, football, gymnastics – artistic and rhythmic, netball, swimming, and tennis ensure there is a sport for every girl.
In our Sports Programme, we also introduce gameplay for different sports every term, such as hockey, football, basketball, netball, mini polo, tennis, softball, and cricket. This gives our younger girls an introduction to a game where the emphasis is on gameplay rather than skill learning exclusively.
Discipline, self-management and teamwork are important skill sets acquired through active participation in sports.
Developing Courage & Confidence through Education Outside The Classroom – EOTC
With qualified instructors and well-structured, challenging EOTC programmes, students can expect to embrace opportunities they might otherwise never encounter.
EOTC may take the form of service, visits to museums and galleries, cultural visits, or even short camps. Through this experiential learning, students connect classroom learning in more relevant and meaningful ways. EOTC builds independence and self-confidence as students triumph in the face of new challenges.
There are multiple excursions planned throughout the year.
Enhanced Learning
We’re committed to meeting students’ specific educational needs, and our teachers continuously assess our girls’ development to tailor teaching methods accordingly.
Our small class sizes cater to girls’ individual needs, with enhanced learning support offered within the classroom or through our Unique Pathways programme.
The level of assistance will vary based on the students’ needs. Parents are actively involved and receive regular updates on their daughter's progress.
