Location ProfileOur innovative French-English bilingual education is internationally recognised as a model of language learning excellence. Our educational philosophy encompasses explicit instruction incorporating meta-cognitive and met-linguistic skills combined with design thinking; it is child-centred, with the firm belief that all students can learn and have the right to be challenged to fulfil their potential.
We embrace the latest research to provide a holistic approach to learning where student achievement continually improves when underpinned by social, emotional, and mental wellbeing. Teaching pedagogy focuses on the explicit teaching of skills and concepts with gradual release to prepare students to take ownership of their learning. Our students from Foundation to Year 6 are provided with a broad, rich and differentiated curriculum enabling the character strengths, talents, and learning styles of each student to be harnessed, maximised, and celebrated.
A rich range of subjects provide opportunities for every child to shine; students engage in four specialist areas - Visual Art, Science, Performing Arts, and Physical Education. Students work in a digitally rich environment with a 1:1 iPad program from Year 2 to Year 6.
Our purpose is for children to achieve their potential in a safe, inclusive, collaborative, and stimulating learning community. We support and challenge our students to be the best they can be. As engaged learners, they will be active local and global citizens destined to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. They are critical, creative thinkers who question and challenge the norms for the benefit of their own and others' learning. We support their intellectual risk-taking and empower them to face challenges with empathy and integrity.
