Year 6 outline

Our Stage 3 classes consist of students from Years 5 and 6. This model gives students the opportunity to broaden their friendship base, engage in group activities with different individuals and develop social skills such as cooperation and compromise – all of which are necessary for High School and life beyond school.

The team of experienced teachers has high expectations of the students, working cohesively to ensure consistency of curriculum and behaviour. Respect for oneself and others underlies Stage 3.

In English, students focus on developing their knowledge and understanding of reading/comprehension, writing skills and public speaking.

In mathematics, Stage 3 has maths groups to cater for the diverse needs of individula students and to prepare them for the high school environment.

In science and technology, students are involved in problem based learning. They particiapte in scientific investigations and hands-on experiments focusing on improving their knowledge and understanding.

In history and geography, students develop their understanding of the impact of Australia's history on their community today. Indigenous perspectives underpin all aspects of the history and geography units.

Year 6 special events

A highlight of Year 6 comes at the end of the year when students organise and run a fun day to raise money to purchase a gift for the school. Teamwork, cooperation, diligence and creativity are all evident in the enthusiasm with which the students approach the day

The Year 6 Farewell is a memorable occasion on which to end seven years of schooling. The students dress beautifully to attend a dinner, dance, and presentation of Graduation Certificates and Year Book – a fitting end at which to celebrate and begin the next phase of education.
