Students at the Primary Campus are empowered and inspired to be the best version of themselves and to strive for excellence in all that they do. Through their actions and from our youngest PreKinder children to Year 6, our students can reflect on what they have achieved and where they need to set their learning goals. Each experience that our students engage with has been carefully crafted by our educators and forms part of learning sequences that allow students to retrieve knowledge and skills they have mastered to act as springboards for new learning. These small incremental steps, reduce cognitive overload and afford students time to practise and retrieve related learning from long term memory before being gradually released to test their understanding independently.

Learning is relevant, related and connected to real life so that it is purposeful and adds value. It extends beyond the classroom to enhance engagement and motivation and, increase and improve social and emotional skills such as communication, empathy and resilience. The outdoor and off campus activities such the camps, interschool sport and excursions improve physical and mental health and, build a sense of belonging and connection, reducing stress. Connections with the greater community through the 25 March commemorations, Harmony Day, supporting the Mother Maria Charity of our Parish and St Nicholas Mission to name a few teach students about social justice and their responsibility as Orthodox Christians to value and support the dignity of every human person.

We are pleased to share with you some photos of the many learning opportunities the students have engaged with this term and take this opportunity to wish you a blessed Easter. Καλό Πάσχα και Kαλή Aνάσταση.
