Our Years 5 and 6 program provides students with increasing opportunities to develop independence, confidence and leadership skills as they prepare for the transition to secondary school. In Year 5, students participate in a dedicated public speaking program and Leadership Day, helping them develop the communication, collaboration and organisational skills they will draw on as Year 6 leaders.

​

In Year 6, every student takes on a leadership position and has the opportunity to contribute to our school community. Year 6 students lead our weekly assemblies, developing confidence, responsibility and a strong sense of service.

Students receive explicit instruction in core areas of Literacy and Mathematics, while having greater autonomy over their learning in other curriculum areas. Camps, including our Year 6 Canberra camp, provide opportunities to build independence and resilience, while increased sporting opportunities, including interschool sport, extend students beyond the classroom.

​

Together, these experiences help our senior students develop the skills, confidence and independence they need for a successful transition to high school.
