FAQ
- What are the class sizes?
- Class sizes are kept small. The largest class consists of 25 students. It is the school’s endeavour to provide a low fee structure and maintain small class sizes.
- How are the classes arranged?
- Classes are Pre-School, Early Stage 1 Kinder, Kindergarten, Year1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6. Depending upon enrolment numbers there may be the need to have composite classes. Children are chosen for entry into these classes.
- What are the entry points?
- Pre-School, Kindergarten and other years if vacancies occur.
- Where will my child go after Year 6?
- The majority of our students go to other independent schools who have a Year 7 entry. As the majority of independent schools are single sex, parents find being able to maintain a co-educational environment whilst choosing independent education a great alternative.
