Academics · Classes I – VII

Primary & Higher Primary

The core years — reading, reasoning and the habits that carry a student forward.

Introduction

Building the foundation that lasts

The Primary and Higher Primary years form the academic spine of a Lourdes Hill education. Fluent reading, confident arithmetic, clear written expression and curiosity about the natural world are developed patiently, year upon year, in classes small enough for every child to be known.

Class teachers stay close to each student's progress, meet families regularly and adjust support where it is needed. Alongside the syllabus, the house system, sports, cultural activities and service projects teach responsibility, teamwork and the quiet discipline of steady work.
