Primary

Welcome to Primary School at Wagga Wagga Christian College. Our Primary School is a dynamic and caring environment where children are valued and respected as unique individuals.

Using a Reggio Emilia inspired program, students are encouraged to think, explore and discover in their learning of God’s amazing world. The curriculum is delivered through Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) allowing students to consolidate and practise concepts to a mastery level.

Our classrooms are Christ-centred,child oriented and teacher facilitated. We understand Primary School students are spontaneous, playful, energetic, loving, expressive, inquisitive, sensitive, honest,engaging, compassionate, generous, curious, observant, joyous, aware, spiritual, trusting, creative, and competent.

We look forward to partnering with you and your child.

Mrs Alesha Alcorn – Head of Primary School

The teachers are amazing and the facilities are beautiful, but the most important factor to me is that my daughter asks me every morning with a big smile if she can go to ‘my school’ today.

Opportunities to Excel

Music

Music collaboratively and in community builds relational skills and supports and develops key parts of the brain that bring benefits to subjects such as maths and literature. Music encourages personal discipline, concentration and commitment qualities students take into the world beyond the classroom.

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.

Excursions and Activities

During the year, the children are involved in several activities some of which may require a fee or payment, others are subsidised by the College. Some excursions and activities the children have the opportunity to participate in include:

Excursions for various year groups
Swimming lessons
Visiting educational shows
Sporting Carnivals
Book Week activities
Get-togethers (Dances, Barbecues)

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.
