PREP - YEAR 6
We understand that Primary School are the learning years which form the foundation of your child's learning and performance capabilities, and future potential. Our focus is on nurturing your child's education with the highest quality teaching staff who strive to provide the best in child-centred learning, performance and excellence in a safe and secure environment where children can flourish.
The Primary Years are an important time for developing the social and emotional skills that are the keys to success, both academically and socially. It is during this stage of their schooling that students discover their passions and interests as they prepare for their transition into Middle School at the end of Year 6.
St Luke's Anglican School's Primary School provides exceptional opportunities for children to believe in themselves. With a core focus on child-centred learning, educational risk-taking is encouraged as an integral part of their education to build confidence and competence. St Luke's Primary School strives to provide a welcoming, caring and secure environment where children can flourish.
The Primary School classrooms are equipped with up-to-date technologies to enhance and embrace new-millennium learning with a vibrant and flexible educational environment.
Our Primary School curriculum is based upon the Australian Curriculum and through inquiry-based learning, like Walker Learning, our students develop the wonder of 'why'.
This framework is underpinned by an approach called St Luke’s Way of Thinking: Thinking Skills, Thinking Tools and Thinking Language. Primary School teachers also embrace a number of age-relevant pedagogies in their teaching, including collaboration, active and experiential learning, differentiation, choice, and authentic and reflective assessment, while embracing a Positive Growth Mindset.

Primary School leadership provides opportunities for fostering self-esteem and confidence in our students. Opportunities such as Activity Monitors/Helpers, which involve tasks like recording and presenting, and Classroom Monitors responsible for daily/weekly maintenance. Year 6 students can become Assembly Assistants, Chapel Leaders, or House Leaders, contributing to assemblies, Worship services, and House activities respectively.
Additionally, Eco-Champions from each year level play a key role in sustainability initiatives. These roles equip students with essential group responsibility and leadership skills, crucial for their personal development.
St Luke's Anglican Primary School is proud to celebrate sustainability within our School Values, Strategic Priorities, Mission and Anglican faith. We strive to provide a quality environmental education that encourages our staff and students to care for the planet in all that they do. We call this 'Protecting our Patch'.
The School Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) is a document that sets out the School community's intentions regarding environmental education and environmental management. School environmental planning conforms with trends in industry and government in which Environmental Management Systems (EMS) are increasingly being introduced in accordance with the International Standard ISO 14001.
In addition to meeting standardised best practice outlined by the global, national and state/local bodies listed above, this SEMP also works to achieve the following outcomes for the school.
Providing a coordinated approach:
- Linking environmental and educational outcomes
- Strengthening grant applications
- Increasing visibility of sustainability initiatives
“How my children feel about going to school reflects highly on the staff and environment at St Luke's. To have your children say on a Sunday afternoon they can't wait to go back to school tells me they are definitely doing something right."
