Senior Primary (Years 3 to 6)
Students from Year 3 onwards attend school at the Clarenza Campus. They are encouraged to explore different opportunities and develop passions as they experience a variety of areas through our Many Paths Initiative (MPI) that is run from Year 3 to Year 8 in developmentally appropriate groupings.
In the Year 3 and 4 groupings students experience semesterised topics that they can choose, from dance, to art, STEAM, drama and music. A focus on the transition to senior primary in the first term ensures all students feel valued through the Buddy Program. Students in Year 3 and 4 have groups of buddies in Years 7and 8 to not only provide younger students with student role models and friends to stand up for them, but also provide Learning Leadership skills for older students.
Math Pathways is introduced in Years 5 and 6 to provide a differentiated mathematics program that uncovers individual student gaps and competencies and offers targeted teaching to small groups of students in each class. Through specific and targeted data teachers are able to recognise where a student needs support or acceleration and students can work at an individual level to drive their learning.
MPI continues with added breadth of subject choices and opportunities to work with like-minded students in different grades – the students have access to the STEAM room, the Gym and the Agriculture plot to develop their interests and passions in Drumbeat, Food Bowl, Eco Warriors, Coding, Dance, Drama, Graffiti Art and Health and Fitness.
