Junior School
Prep - Year 6
Junior School Overview
Our Junior School is a place where students are seen, supported and inspired every day. Here, learning is purposeful, engaging and built around each child’s unique strengths and interests. Within a warm and inclusive environment, students develop a strong sense of belonging and the confidence to embrace new challenges.
Our evidence-based approach to teaching provides every student with a solid, essential foundation. These building blocks underpin success across the broader curriculum and help students thrive as independent, capable learners.
Junior School students explore real-world issues through six key themes that help them grow as globally-minded citizens. They are encouraged to ask questions, take initiative, and reflect on their place in the world.
In every classroom, students are supported by dedicated teachers who foster both academic growth and emotional wellbeing. Weekly wellbeing lessons, strong student-teacher relationships and a culture of care, ensure each child feels known, valued and safe to be themselves.
Our Junior School spaces are designed to spark curiosity and creativity - from bright, adaptable classrooms to expansive outdoor areas that support active play, exploration and discovery.
As they move through the Junior School, our students grow in independence, resilience and confidence. They develop the skills to collaborate, the courage to lead and a love of learning that will stay with them for life.

International Baccalaureate (IB) World School
As an authorised International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, we deliver the Primary Years Programme (PYP), which enriches our students’ experience through inquiry-based, transdisciplinary learning. The PYP nurtures curiosity, creativity and compassion, encouraging students to make meaningful connections between what they learn and the world around them.

We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
Commitment to Child Safety
Ballarat Grammar maintains a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of child abuse and actively implements measures to identify and manage any risks of harm to students within our school environment. The care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people are central and fundamental responsibilities of the School. We are firmly committed to fostering a child-safe culture that provides an environment where students are safe and feel safe, where their participation is valued, their views respected, and their voices heard in decisions that affect their lives. Ballarat Grammar values diversity and strictly prohibits any racist or discriminatory practices. All members of our school community share the responsibility to care for children and young people by promptly raising any concerns regarding their safety, promoting their wellbeing, and protecting them from all forms of harm or abuse.
