Junior School
From Kindergarten to Year 6, girls build the strong foundations that prepare them for a lifetime of learning. In intentionally small classes, they are encouraged to ask questions, think independently, embrace new challenges and develop the confidence to participate, contribute and discover what they are capable of.
Every girl is known, encouraged and challenged as an individual. Our teachers understand her strengths, interests and learning needs, providing the support and challenge that help her grow academically, socially and emotionally.
Whether girls begin at Fahan in Kindergarten, step into the Junior School in Year 3, or join us for the important transition years of Years 5 and 6, they quickly become part of a connected and welcoming community where friendships grow and every girl feels she belongs.
Strong Foundations. Curious Minds. Confident Learners.
Explore Each Stage
Kindergarten to Year 2
A joyful beginning built on play, discovery and warm relationships. Purposeful play, weekly Outdoor Classroom experiences and specialist learning nurture curiosity and independence from each girl's very first day.
Years 3 to 6
Strong foundations in literacy and numeracy are consolidated and extended as girls grow in independence, confidence and leadership. Specialist teachers, camps, Outdoor Education and House carnivals open up a wider world of learning - preparing every girl for a seamless transition into Senior School.
Learning Across the Junior School
Specialist Teaching from the Start
From creating ceramic pieces in our on-campus kiln to performing on stage, making music, learning French and Japanese, exploring coding and robotics, or developing teamwork through sport, girls learn from specialist teachers from an early age - discovering new interests and building confidence in a wide range of learning environments.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Excursions, camps and outdoor experiences build resilience, independence and teamwork. Because Fahan is intentionally small, every girl is encouraged to have a go - whether joining a sporting team, performing on stage or taking on a leadership opportunity, participation is valued and every student is supported to contribute.
Wellbeing at the Centre
Children learn best when they feel safe, supported and connected. Pastoral care is woven throughout every aspect of Junior School life, and our Positive Education program helps students develop resilience, emotional awareness, respectful relationships and a growth mindset.
