Learning and Teaching
Our small class sizes allow teachers to provide students with personalised learning experiences and enables students to work towards their personal best. Students benefit from specialist teachers, targeted Literacy and Numeracy support and extension, contemporary learning, supportive wellbeing staff and a variety of co-curricular opportunities.
Primary students have access to all senior school facilities including Science and Technology in the contemporary purpose-built Rheims Centre. Core subjects including Literacy, Numeracy, Religion, GROW and Inquiry are held in the freshly renovated Duffy Building and our state-of-the-art gym and weights room is the location for Physical Education and Sport. Independent learning and socialisation are encouraged with dedicated Primary hub break-out areas.
Our approach to education is holistic, encouraging and supporting each individual student to not only learn but to personally develop through specialised classes in wellbeing and spirituality. The GROW program (Growing Responsibility for your Own Wellbeing) allows teachers to identify and support each student individually at their point of need.

Co-curricular
Our extensive range of co-curricular opportunities complements classroom learning and provides a broadening of perspective for our students as they prepare for Secondary School.
Primary students undertake an eight-week public speaking and debating course to develop their literacy skills, build friendships by attending a College camp at the beginning of the school year, and participate in the Dendy Sports Competition. Students also have the opportunity to participate in the Year 5 - 8 High Performance Sports Program in the areas of basketball, soccer, AFL, cricket, athletics and swimming. In 2022, our team was announced regional champions in netball and basketball plus runners up in the AFL competition. Primary students participate in regular fitness classes at Harold Holt Swim Centre and Infinite Cycles.
Primary students are encouraged to apply to be one of the many student leaders. From Years 5 to 8, students in each Mentor Group elect a Class Captain who takes on a variety of roles, as required at each Year Level.
