Where Students flourish and feel confident


Intentionally Structured

Your child's learning journey is intentionally structured through three developmental phases.
Each stage builds on the previous one, supporting her academic growth, social-emotional development and emerging sense of identity.

The journey from Prep to Year 6

Years 5 and 6

Prep to Year 2

The early learning years mark a time in which your child is establishing herself as a learner while developing independence and resilience. A love of learning is nurtured, and strong friendships and bonds with peers and teachers develop. Students are encouraged to take risks with their learning while setting and achieving personalized goals. The early years are a time of transitioning to school, where students are developing in the areas of curiosity, cooperation, confidence, creativity, commitment, enthusiasm, persistence, imagination and reflexivity. Children are exploring a range of skills and processes, such as problem-solving, enquiry, experimentation, hypothesizing, researching and investigating. And your child is beginning to understand how they can transfer and adapt what they have learnt in one learning experience to another. Valora's many varied learning experiences will ignite a passion for learning as your child connects with people, places, technologies and the use of natural and processed materials. This is a time when students are developing who they are as they learn to share, take-turns, collaborate and develop relationships.

Exploration and Solutions


Mathematicsicon
In Mathematics, students develop essential knowledge, skills and understanding across the six strands. Through engaging, problem-solving experiences, students learn to apply these concepts in real-world situations. They communicate their thinking using appropriate mathematical language and select effective strategies to solve problems. As students progress, they become increasingly confident and independent learners who can interpret information, justify their thinking, and apply their mathematical understanding in meaningful contexts.

Humanities (Knowledge Architects)

Program Overviewicon
Knowledge architects are visionaries who interrogate the lessons of both past and present to imagine and ultimately build a better future for all. Since ancient times, students of the Humanities have been at the forefront of our most complex and important debates about issues of social, cultural, economic, ideological and political significance. The lenses of History, Geography, Civics and Citizenship provide an understanding of the problems, motivations and moral complexities of the human condition that inform humanity’s actions in the face of local, national and global challenges. An examination of these subjects encourages individual reflection, intercultural awareness, empathy and an appreciation for the beauty and power of knowledge. All subjects are living, breathing subjects which are adapted to meet contemporary needs. In studying these subjects, students develop transferable skills including the ability to write, argue and research.
