Junior School
A Diverse Community for Young Learners
With over 500 students and 50 educators, our Junior School is a diverse and dynamic learning community of staff and students with a growth mindset.
At the beginning of your child’s journey at All Saints’ in our Early Learning Centre, students come together innately curious and keenly motivated to understand the world through their unique perspective. Play-based learning in the early years is guided by educators to inspire and provoke as students develop core skills and capabilities. As children develop, play becomes framed with inquiry, enabling self-motivated learning to continue through all Junior School years.
With their specific expertise in Early Childhood development, All Saints’ educators engage young students in a way that personally inspires and creates a sense of belonging, encouraging students to develop independence within a supportive child-centred environment.
Our educators listen carefully to the words of children to understand their interests and to engage and motivate them. Children are encouraged to work positively through mistakes and to see them as natural in learning: All Saints’ calls this flearning, or learning through failing. And importantly, resilience grows as students learn through play, and enjoy the process of learning.
Within and beyond the classroom, authentic learning continues as students connect with their local area through the College’s Bush School, Outdoor Learning and Service Programs, becoming active and engaged contributors in the community.
Students are encouraged to find their voice and gather skills that allow them to effectively express their ideas, opinions and thoughts. These thinking routines once again help students to deepen their understanding, and The 7 Habits - with their focus on collaboration - enable students to operate independently and with increasing effectiveness.
While embracing leadership in Junior School, students begin to look beyond the Junior School and make further connections with Senior School students and staff.
