Primary School

Building strong foundations of faith and knowledge for lifelong success in a Christ-centred Primary education.

Providence Christian College offers a comprehensive Primary School education programme for Years 3-6.

Teaching and learning in the Primary School places an emphasis on acquiring literacy and numeracy skills in an integrated approach across the nine Learning Areas areas set out in the WA Curriculum.

  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Science
  • Humanities and Social Sciences
  • Technologies
  • The Arts
  • Health & Physical Education
  • Languages

Physical Education, Digital Technologies, Indonesian, Music and Visual Art are taught to Year 3-6 students by specialist teachers. All Primary students also participate in a weekly ‘Bible’ programme that follows a school-based curriculum. Daily devotions encourage students to develop concern for one another and emphasise the importance of acknowledging and making time for God in their lives.

The Primary School Staff are dedicated Christian teachers who work to build a solid academic basis for their students while recognising and encouraging the development of spiritual foundations in their lives.

A Student Development Programme incorporating the EPIC Programme for the Year 5 to 6 students, the ESTEEM Programme for the Year 3 to 4 students and the CARE Programme for the Year 1 to 2 students address the following goals in a number of different ways:

Personal and social capability

Assists students to become successful learners, helping to improve their academic learning and enhancing their motivation to reach their full potential.

Ethical understanding

Assists students to become confident and creative individuals and active and informed citizens.

Critical and creative thinking

Are fundamental to students becoming successful learners. Thinking that is productive, purposeful and intentional is at the centre of effective learning.

Extra-Curricular

A variety of extra-curricular clubs enable Primary Students to further engage in curriculum areas of passion and interest. Opportunities also exist for students to interact positively through mentoring and Buddy Programmes with older students. This interaction aims to encourage a College-wide sense of community and cooperation. Learn more about extra-curricular.

Student Leadership

Every Year 6 student is considered a leader for the year and is encouraged to pursue a leadership role. Each Year 6 student serves the Primary School through a service team, helping meet school needs and developing servant-hearted leadership. These experiences build resilience and responsibility while allowing students to model leadership qualities for younger peers.

The Primary School programme provides students with balanced academic, social and spiritual development in preparation for entry to the Middle School.
