Learning Support
Our focus is learning through play in Grades RRR to R. Activities are carefully considered to prepare our girls for the formal learning years. Drama, Library, Music, Physical Education and Psychomotor lessons taught by specialist teachers, provide opportunities for our girls to gain independence, explore and discover. A voluntary introductory sports programme is offered to girls in Grade R. Computer and iPad lessons begin in Grade RR. Girls are taught social media responsibility and coding.
We have a well-equipped outdoor area where the girls spend many happy hours on the jungle gyms, trampoline, cycle track, and in the sand pit and gardens. All activities promote the complete development of the child: physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually.
The Pre-Primary has its own unique characteristics based on how children of this age group make sense of the world and acquire the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes which will allow them to maximise the opportunities afforded in the formal learning years.
Outings to various venues like the SPCA, Wylie Park and Botanical Gardens reinforce our belief that not all learning takes place within the classroom.
Aftercare is available for girls in Grades RRR – Grade 2. Aftercare is a home base for girls in the afternoon. Girls are lovingly supervised by members of staff.
Girls in the Senior Primary phase have the benefit of teachers with a passion for their subject and an understanding of intermediate phase pupils.
Streamed maths classes allow girls to progress at their own pace. Project based learning integrates technology to support teaching and learning in a relevant manner.
Girls enjoy Design and Technology lessons and the Grade 7s find the practical aspect of Economic and Management Sciences relevant.
