A significant milestone is now underway: the opening of a new Junior School, accommodating more than 300 students from Reception to Year 6 and creating a seamless R–12 learning pathway. With a strong focus on sustainability, technology and innovation, students will be inspired and supported from the very start of their school journey within a nurturing, values based environment.

The new Junior School precinct will feature state-of-the-art learning areas, specialist STEM and enrichment spaces, a dedicated library and resource hub, music tutorial rooms, contemporary play and learning zones and a central multi-purpose hall for school and community events.

  • working with school leaders to implement an effective pastoral care program, while planning and delivering an instructional program that encourages students to reach their full potential;
  • ensuring collaborative engagement with colleagues, students and the school community in the delivery of excellence in educational programs, operations and student wellbeing.
