A beautiful space for curious minds
The early years of schooling are such a special and important time in a child’s life. It is a time of enormous development and learning, and our teachers are there to support student success every step of the way. Committed to ongoing professional learning and growth, and keeping abreast of the latest educational practices, our teachers take their responsibilities for guiding our students through their Junior School years seriously.
Safe, happy learning environments mean productive and creative students
Our holistic curriculum is designed to support the academic, spiritual, physical and social development of each child.
The class Mentor teaches core subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science, Health, History and Geography, and ensures the pastoral care of each student. This is extended by specialist teaching of Chinese, Faith and Life, Music, Art, Physical Education and Outdoor Education.
We have a restorative approach to pastoral care, and always search for positive outcomes to promote engaging learning environments in which children can thrive.
Our expansive but cosy Anglesea Village campus provides a unique environment that encourages enquiry, play and creativity.

Support and wellbeing
We see education as a partnership between home and school, with your first point of contact being your child’s class teacher.
In addition to your child’s teacher, the School has a dedicated student management team including Heads of School, Pastoral Care Coordinator, Psychologists, our Chaplain and Deputy Principal who are all there to support the wellbeing of our students.
Kindergarten
Is your daughter about to start her first steps into formal education?
We understand that this can be an exciting and challenging time for both students and parents and being prepared with the right information can help everyone to transition smoothly.

Experiential Learning
Through areas of outdoor, project-based, service and global learning, students at Collegiate are exposed to immersive practical opportunities that embody the School’s vision “to empower every student to embrace the fullness of life.”
Sport
Sport at Collegiate is all about having fun and trying something new. We offer a variety of sports in our program each term, competing in school competitions or just improving skills and techniques from our professional coaches.
Our students have a lot of fun learning and competing together and this is reflected in the way they play. There’s a wonderful culture of commitment to sport in the Junior School, and we are delighted with the mass participation in our Junior sports program – it’s a sea of red and white on the oval each lunchtime.
Every Friday afternoon, students participate in a range of sports that develop skills and teamwork. Students are able to select a different sport each term and are encouraged to try new experiences.
Some examples of available sports include Netball, AFL, Soccer, Badminton, Pickleball, Teeball, Cricket, Athletics, Dance, Gymnastics, Basketball, Hockey and Tennis.
House system
New students are assigned to one of our eight Houses, each of which has its own identity and House spirit. There are House activities, as well as inter-House competitions, throughout the year. Being an active House member ensures students enjoy a sense of fun, belonging and purpose within the larger group.
