Links to the Senior School
We passionately support the establishment of a learning environment that cultivates meaningful connections between our Junior and Senior School students. We hold a steadfast belief that nurturing interactions among students of different age groups significantly enriches their educational experience.
Our goal is to cultivate a sense of belonging and inclusion among the students, encouraging friendship and ultimately enhancing their overall wellbeing.
Nurturing meaningful connections
Beyond the classroom walls
Our approach is grounded on the understanding that learning extends beyond the classroom walls. By encouraging interactions between younger and older students, we create a holistic educational environment that offers a multitude of benefits including developing social and emotional growth, sharing knowledge and creating a sense of unity.
We actively encourage our Senior School students to engage in collaborative activities and offer support to their Junior School peers. This engagement takes various forms, including active participation in Junior School events and sports carnivals. Additionally, our students frequently come together during lessons and through various connection programs designed to bridge the gap between different year groups.
For example, Senior School CAVE students have the opportunity to share Bible stories with ELC. Year 12 students also help the Kindy students to harvest olives. Whole School events such as Eucharists and services bring the entire school community together as one.
We encourage connection

CHILDREN, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY
In our Senior School, students studying Children, Family, and Community (CFC) enjoy a special opportunity to engage with our ELC students. These structured interactions are designed to facilitate meaningful learning experiences while building connections and camaraderie among our young learners. CFC students gain practical insights into child development, enhancing both their knowledge and the sense of unity within our School community.
