Primary School (Prep to Year 6)

​A JPC Primary School education is not simply about mastering the curriculum but keeping alive a child’s innate sense of wonder, showing children that learning is an adventure worth pursuing. The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP)​ focusses on the development of the whole child, offering a framework to meet the academic, cultural, physical, social and spiritual development of each person. The inquiry-based approach equips students with a unique global outlook and promotes subject depth and breadth. The PYP is a structured, purposeful and planned inquiry that actively engages children. Our Primary School focuses on developing students who are motivated by the wonder of learning. The explicit learning outcomes from the Australian Curriculum are used to drive the planning process. We focus on developing a set of core competencies, which students require in our world of continuous change. These include the ability to think critically, to communicate clearly, to work collaboratively and to solve problems creatively. Students are an integral part of the learning process and are encouraged to become independent learners. While building these foundational skills, students participate in blocks of learning dedicated explicitly to the teaching of literacy and numeracy.

Applicants must demonstrate a pass in all core subjects over their previous two years of education.
