Our goal is to equip our students with self-esteem, confidence and competence. We aim to stimulate and nurture their interests and skills as well as to foster within each child, a genuine appreciation and joy for learning.
Junior School – Belmont
We are a campus dedicated to developing the knowledge, skills and creativity of children up to Year 4. Strategic use of play-based learning (including a ‘Bush Prep’ program) in the early school years provides multiple opportunities for children to learn through discovery, interaction and self-reflection.
