Early Primary

Years 1 & 2

One of our key roles is helping children to see themselves as capable and confident learners. The foundations laid in Junior Primary will stay with children for the rest of their lives. Our Junior Primary staff exemplify what we look for in all our teachers, demonstrating commitment to the individual needs of every child.

 

The programme offered is inquiry based, investigative and very ‘hands on’, allowing children to have an appropriate level of autonomy in their learning experiences. Being guided and directed by teachers, children are encouraged in independent research and learning.

 

“Happy smiling faces clearly show the engagement of the children in their hands-on learning in this classroom.  The investigative approach captivates their curious young minds.  There is evidence of learning in every movement and conversation as the children learn cooperatively with their peers and teachers."

 

Felicity Drinkall, Head of Primary

 

The learning programme for students in Junior Primary presents the content of the Western Australian Curriculum, enriched by the context of the special Christian character of Landsdale Christian School.
