PRIMARY
At Rockhampton Girls Grammar, our primary school builds the foundation for life-long learning and delivers exciting and challenging learning programs to build confidence and engagement in learning. Teaching and learning are facilitated through a number of nationally and internationally acclaimed pedagogical strategies including La Trobe University’s The Science of Language and Teaching. These programs ensure we are developing our girls as effectively as possible with the most relevant and up to date practices. The primary learning areas are used to develop a balanced, integrated curriculum for young children that broadens their learning experiences. We aim to develop in our young people, inquiring minds and a love of learning.
Curriculum
OUR
Students in Prep to Year 6 are provided with a personalised education, meeting their needs emotionally, socially and academically. Small primary classes support the delivery of first-class programs across all curriculum areas.
Based upon the key learning areas of the Australian Curriculum, a Girls Grammar primary education emphasises the knowledge, skills, behaviours and attitude our girls need to continue to be successful learners. Underpinning the content of each learning area is a focus on general capabilities including literacy and numeracy, information communication technologies, critical and creative thinking, personal and social capabilities, ethical understanding and intercultural understanding.
In addition to your daughter’s core classroom teacher, she will experience a range of specialist subjects in areas including, Visual Art, Music, Drama, Dance, Physical Education and Spanish.
