Junior School Rotations
This program is aimed at providing students from Foundation to Grade 2 the opportunity to explore a variety of skills and concepts through fun and collaborative learning experiences. We value student voice and use the students ideas and suggestions to plan all rotations. It is a great opportunity for students to work collaboratively and learn new skills while getting to know other students and teachers in the Junior School. Some of the activities include: cooking, coding, paper crafts, obstacle course, outdoor games and drawing just to name a few.
