Often referred to as Anglesea Village,
the Junior School is campus is renowned for its unique village setting.
Located in South Hobart, just five minutes drive from the CBD, it provides a welcoming community feel for students in the Early Learning Centre (ELC) through to Year 4. Despite its close proximity to the city, children enjoy extensive gardens, open green spaces and play equipment that encourages outdoor exploration.
Throughout our gardens and classrooms, you will find a nurturing environment and happy children engaged in powerful learning experiences. Our girls are provided with a rich inquiry-based program designed to differentiate learning to achieve exceptional outcomes for every individual. There is an extensive range of opportunities and experiences embedded in our programs that launch our young students into lifelong learners. Each student is enabled to achieve their best with an accessible curriculum that is carefully scoped and sequenced. We aim to extend students in a variety of ways in order to allow them to flourish in the academic, social, physical, emotional and spiritual domains.

At the Junior School, we have created a positive attitude to learning, based on sequential development. The Kindergarten program draws on valuable aspects of the Reggio Emilia philosophy, the Early Years Learning Framework, an inquiry-based approach and nature education. Our outstanding staff are passionate about early learning and deliver a child-centred program that guides children in their thinking through hands-on investigation and play-based learning.
From Prep to Year 4, our Junior School program is based on the Australian Curriculum and incorporates the eight key learning areas: English, Mathematics, Science, History and Geography, the Arts, Health and Physical Education and Languages.
As girls move into Years 3 and 4, the move to the more formal classroom settings is a response to the developing needs of the girls at this level of schooling and a gradual transitioning process to the Middle School setting.
Along with these firm foundations in literacy and numeracy, specialist teachers guide the students in Chinese, Faith and Life, Library, Art, Physical Education and Music. With an excellent staff to student ratio, our girls receive every possible assistance to achieve their full potential.
Students are also encouraged to be involved in a broad range of sporting and co-curricular options allowing them to learn and develop their individual talents. Specialist EDGE (Extension, Differentiation, Gifted Education) programs are available for all Junior School students.
