Discovering Me

Prep to Year 4

At Peninsula Grammar’s Junior School, every child is known, supported and encouraged to grow in confidence as a learner and as a person. Through our Discovering Me program, students develop strong foundations in literacy, numeracy and critical thinking while building the curiosity, resilience and independence needed for the years ahead.

Our future-focused curriculum combines high-quality teaching with inquiry-based learning, helping students explore new ideas, collaborate with others and discover their individual strengths. In an environment where wellbeing sits alongside achievement, students are challenged to grow, develop a love of learning and make the most of the opportunities available to them.

Academics

The centre piece of our approach to teaching and learning is the essential interaction between teacher, student and curriculum that creates the basis of authentic learning. We foster a strong sense of community and inspire our students to be collaborators, researchers, communicators and thinkers.

Through explicit instruction our students are engaged in a Junior School education that is founded in the key knowledge and skills principles underpinning the F-10 Victorian Curriculum, where they will learn to “become lifelong learners, confident individuals, and active and informed citizens” (Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority, 2024).
