Course Details

Starting school can be both exciting and challenging for any child. At Pulteney, our small class sizes allow our exceptional teachers to know each child well, catering to their individual needs, passions, and love of learning. Our close-knit community supports children's growth and confidence as they begin their school journey.
The Reggio Emilia philosophy shapes the environment and work of our Early Learning Centre (ELC) and inspires teachers across the Junior School. This philosophy recognises children as active participants in their learning process. At Pulteney, every student is given the tools to succeed, with an emphasis on positive social development and play-based learning in the early years.
We invite you to tour the school and discover what makes Pulteney a unique and vibrant place for your child to begin their love of learning.

Pulteney’s Junior School (Reception to Year 6) is guided by the Reggio Emilia Approach. The Australian Curriculum is fully implemented across all eight learning areas: English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities (History, Geography, Economics and Business and Citizenship), Technology, Languages, The Arts (Music, Drama, Visual Art, Design, Dance) and Health and Physical Education. The curriculum is complemented by the National Literacy and Numeracy Learning Progressions. Whereby a students’ progression is monitored closely to ensure they receive support and tailored learning opportunities.

Furthermore, specialist programs are steered by teachers who hold a wealth of knowledge in their field, including Physical Education, Health, Performing Arts, Music, Visual and Media arts, Chinese and Technology.

At an early age, students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning pathway. The Junior School is designed to allow children to feel safe and in control of their environment so that they are confident to ask questions, challenge themselves and become passionate, creative thinkers.
