Primary Learning at Sherbrooke Community School

Growing Curious Minds in a Caring Community

At Sherbrooke Community School, our Primary program (Prep to Year 6) is designed to foster a lifelong love of learning in a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment. We believe that children learn best when they feel known, supported, and inspired — and that’s exactly what we provide.

🏡 A Nurturing Environment

As a small school, we pride ourselves on strong relationships between students, teachers and families. Our multi-age classrooms promote collaboration, leadership and care across year levels, allowing students to grow at their own pace with personalised support.

📚 A Rich and Balanced Curriculum

We offer a broad, inquiry-based curriculum that nurtures academic growth alongside creativity, wellbeing and critical thinking. Our Primary students engage in:

• Literacy and numeracy foundations

• Inquiry units across science, humanities and sustainability

• Specialist programs in Art, Physical Education, and Japanese

• Hands-on learning, including gardening, cooking and animal care

• Social and emotional learning woven into every day

We make learning meaningful by connecting it to the world around us and encouraging curiosity and creativity.

🌿 Learning Beyond the Classroom

Our beautiful natural setting allows for outdoor learning experiences that build confidence, resilience, and a love of the environment. Students take part in regular nature play, school sustainability projects, and caring for our animals — including our much-loved school sheep!

💬 Student Voice and Wellbeing

Primary students are encouraged to share their ideas, make choices about their learning, and take on leadership roles in class and across the school. Wellbeing is a key focus, with daily check-ins, restorative practices and a caring approach to behaviour and relationships.
