Literacy and Numeracy are key learning components in grade 5/6. Students receive regular feedback which enables them to take responsibility for their own learning. Each student has access to netbooks which are integrated into the curriculum.
Grade 5/6 at Wangaratta Primary School is about Leadership and being positive role models within our school community. Students have the opportunity to showcase their leadership skills through programs such as; School Captain, SRC, House Captains and Student Voice. All grade 5/6 students are encouraged to take on leadership including:
Our Buddy Program enables the grade 5/6 students to provide support and guidance for our Foundation students. They form positive and healthy relationships through regular Buddy activities.
We participate in extra curricula activities including Interschool Sports, Hoop Time, Winter Sports, Bike Ed and Somers Camp. This allows students to build relationships with peers from other schools proving to be advantageous for when our students head to Secondary School.
Each year students attend an Educational Tour/ School Camp. This supports our unit of inquiry.
There is a major focus on preparing our students for secondary school through transition pathways. Our aim is to send our students to their next learning stage as confident, motivated and effective young learners.
