Primary School - Tyabb | Flinders Christian Community College

After Kindergarten your child will start with Prep. During this crucial year your child will settle in to their new environment, learn to read and be taught basic mathematical concepts. We will spend a lot of time this year teaching your child how to communicate and interact through language activities including poetry, drama and writing. They will also begin their learning in science, art, music, physical education, PMP (Perceptual Motor Program), games and social studies.

As your child moves into their early Primary years, we will help them extend their skills and knowledge in all these areas. During this time, we will also focus on teaching them the meaning of our core values, and how to take care of their possessions and environment. At this stage we place particular emphasis on honesty and reliability and teach all our students to treat each other with kindness and respect. We encourage them to adopt a loving approach, to appreciate God’s creation, and recognise their own and each other’s worth.

In later Primary School, during Grades 4, 5 and 6, we will offer your child useful and challenging experiences to extend their understanding in all areas. These include core curriculum subjects such as English, Maths and Science, plus a range of topics across the fields of Arts, Languages, Society and the Environment, Bible Studies, Health, and Technology. Christian teachings are integrated into the curriculum and supported through our devotional program.

Throughout their Primary years we want your child to experience a rich and fulfilling school life, enhanced by a broad variety of co-curricular activities. As well as the option to try a wide range of sports, music and artistic activities, your child will also be able to take part in exciting events such as theatrical performances and school competitions.
