Primary

Reception to Year 5

The primary room caters for students attending private or independent schools. Students may be from rural, metropolitan, interstate or overseas schools.

The classroom is open from 9.30am-11.30am and from 1.30pm-3.30pm Monday to Friday.

Some students may have resources and a curriculum from their own school. A learning program is negotiated with all students so that they can work at their own level using the SACSA Framework as the basis to teach the important essential learnings. The school is well resourced and teachers will often communicate with a student's teacher/school. The morning sessions are usually for students to learn literacy and numeracy skills. Some group lessons occur in the afternoon sessions eg; cooking, science, technology, PE, SOCE, drama and art. The classroom has 4 up-to-date computers and there is access to laptops, particualy for students in beds and wheelchairs.

A mid morning break of fruit-time encourages social interaction and healthy eating.

Siblings of hospital patients from rural areas can attend the school. Primary staff also visit students on the wards, fascilitating learning and links to the students home schools. The classroom provides a safe, healthy and fun learning environment so that continuity of education and well being is acheived for all our students.
