We believe that each student has their own unique God-given gifts and talents. Every student is encouraged to participate in a wide sphere of activities - assemblies, concerts, Presentation Nights, Chapel services, House Sports and competitions. After school activities are provided for students interested in learning Chess, Dance, Mandarin, Orchestra and Choir.
Communication between home and school is maintained through the College diary, Information sessions, Principal's Newsletters, Curriculum Guides, the Primary Handbook, class letters, email, telephone and individual notes to parents. The College ensures that parents are kept up to date with special events and curriculum matters.
Parent Teacher Interviews occur twice a year and parents are encouraged to make appointments with their child's teacher at any other time if they so desire.
Comprehensive reports are provided at the end of each semester. Each subject report contains a check list of skills as well as a written comment.
Our Learning Enrichment and Program Support (LEAPS) Team provides intervention programs to support students who are struggling with literacy or numeracy, or who have special learning needs. Our LEAPS area is well resourced and provides students with classroom support, small group tuition and one-on-one care.
Enrichment of learning is also a focus of our LEAPS stream. Students seeking extension are catered for by specialist programs, such as Tournament of Minds, Future Problem Solvers and Chess Club that extend and enrich the students' learning experience.
Our students have weekly library lessons in which they are taught literature appreciation and also sequential information literacy skills. There are also computers which students can use in class as well as recess and lunch times. Students enjoy Book Week each year when the library is transformed according to that year's theme. In addition, students participate in other literature themes, which help to stimulate their interest in books, their love of reading, and generally support their learning.
