Junior School (R-5)

Navigator College Junior School enrols students in Reception to Year 5. We invite families to partner with us in their child’s educational journey.

The early years of a child’s life and schooling lay the foundation for future learning. At Navigator College we believe that these years are essential in providing an important introduction to life-long learning.

With it’s motto: ‘Directions for Life‘, Navigator College Junior School seeks to provide a solid foundation for each child’s education.

We aim to provide each student with a Christ-centred, caring learning environment in which children are
encouraged to take risks in their learning in order to develop their confidence as life long learners.

Junior School Staff

Our Junior School staff work as a team to achieve the vision and values of Navigator College.

The staff plan and program cooperatively to provide effective learning outcomes for all students,
and create a professional learning environment which promotes the sharing of knowledge and best practice in all classrooms.

The staff strive to provide a warm and exciting setting for learning in the early years. Classrooms reflect a stimulating and challenging learning environment, and a most welcoming atmosphere for students and parents.

Navigator College Junior School offers learning in Mathematics, English, Christian Studies, Japanese, Social Studies, Science, Arts and Personal, Social and Physical Education.

Navigator College Junior School is currently in the candidacy phase of the International Baccaularete Primary Years Program. Through this curriculum, students are encouraged to become thinkers, inquirers, communicators and risk-takers. They are also challenged to become knowledgeable, open-minded, principled, caring, balanced and reflective individuals, who care about themselves, others and their world. These are all attributes of an internationally-minded and successful learner at Navigator College.

I encourage you to contact the College regarding these important early years in your child’s education.

“The Primary Years Program is embraced completely at Navigator College.  The curriculum is meaningful, carefully considered and of a high standard.  I love to see how the creativity and thinking skills of the students are nurtured through the Primary Years Program.  It is truly exciting to see the students’ enthusiasm as they explore life.  One of the things I appreciate most about working at Navigator College is being  part of a system that strategically encourages both independence and interdependence.  I enjoy being part of the caring and passionate team we have at Navigator College” ~ Mrs Tania Masters, Teacher Year 4/5
