Junior
Faith Lutheran College, Redlands Junior School is structured to cater
for students in their primary years at Faith, Prep through to Year 6, and is
situated on our Link Road campus in Victoria Point.
Prep is the first year of formal
schooling. At Faith, our Prep students are nurtured and encouraged to learn,
while growing in confidence, independence and responsibility. During the year
the Prep students are gradually integrated into Year 1 to 6 schooling through
involvement in Worship, Assembly, Special Theme Days, Service Learning
activities and weekly physical education, library and music lessons.
The Junior School years are
considered to be the most important in a young person’s development. It is
during this time that an inquiring attitude towards learning and a positive
self-image is developed and nurtured within a warm and caring Christian
environment.
Students are encouraged to develop a
caring attitude towards their peers and to develop a sense of responsibility.
Our pastoral care program and service activities promote the development of
these life skills within our students. Our students are encouraged from Prep,
to grow and learn together with activities such as our Year 5 / Prep Buddy
program as well as Leadership Roles and Positions of Responsibility for all
students in Year 6.
An Outside School Hours and Vacation
Care program is supervised by qualified and caring staff. Parents can feel
comfortable in the knowledge that their children are well looked after in a
stimulating environment.
Our College community is a caring,
Christian setting which, in strong partnership with our families, provides a
high quality educational environment. Your child will build a strong foundation
on which to grow and develop as a positive, caring young person who will take
learning risks and challenge themselves to excel.
