Primary
Our Primary School is a dynamic and caring environment where each child is known, valued, and respected as unique individuals.
We encourage our students to be compassionate, caring and thoughtful of others. We engage students in critical and
creative thinking, developing their problem-solving, competence and confidence, focusing on growth in learning.
We explore each child’s interests and inspire them to be the best they can be!
The College uses explicit teaching programs, focusing on developing foundational understanding, including phonics- based literacy and mastery-based numeracy approaches. The explicit teaching method is integrated within a Reggio Emilia inspired inquiry-learning approach, reflecting research evidence for what works best for children’s learning.
Children learn the language of learning and explore what productive learning feels, sounds and looks like. We discuss, ask questions, and learn how to learn. This extends knowledge, develops new skills and teaches persistence. This form
of learning empowers children to think for themselves and inspires natural curiosity.
Opportunities to Excel
Music
Agriculture
Agriculture is a focus at the College that continues to grow. Programs run from Kindergarten to Year 12.
Our younger students are engaged in managing garden beds and small animals, including poultry. Older and more experienced students begin working with cattle.
Sport
We value sport as an essential part of a child’s development.
The College offers both competitive sport programs (including inter-school and community competitions) and more social sport programs.
STEM
Exploring the interaction of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics learning areas engages students in rich experiences of real-world applications.
STEM is a cross-curricular focus of the College and a variety of Co-Curricular STEM programs are offered.
Leadership
The leadership program at Wagga Wagga Christian College is aimed at creating a student community, which contributes to the College in practical ways, and provides for a broad range of students to be involved.
Enrichment & Acceleration
As students are identified as benefiting from extension programs, the College offers a range of options that aim to challenge and grow each child. A diverse range of extension and acceleration programs provide opportunities for students to excel in their passions and talents.
Primary Wellbeing & Support
Structures and programs ensure the individual needs of each child are recognised, which includes a Buddy Class program, Peer Support lessons, and counselling for students and families.
In the Buddy Class program, each student has a buddy in an older class who they play with, talk to, and learn from. It teaches older students to care for others, teach others, and serve others. For younger students, it allows them to feel safe and comfortable around the College.
