The first seven years of school are among the most influential in shaping a child’s life. During this period, children develop essential social and emotional skills, learning how to interact with others and unlock the potential for collaborative growth and discovery. It is also when they begin to build a strong sense of identity, embracing self-advocacy and independence while understanding the importance of community and their connection to the broader world.
This stage is marked by significant progress in foundational academic skills, where the "magic" unfolds – the first time they read, master writing, and grasp fundamental mathematical concepts. It’s a time of cultivating a learning mindset, encouraging children to embrace challenges, explore the "learning pit" with confidence, and develop a lifelong love for learning.
At Manorvale Primary School, every educator works in partnership with families to support each student’s academic, social, and emotional needs. Together, we aim to ensure that the primary school experience is both enriching and empowering for every child.
