Thank you for considering Georges River Grammar for your child’s education. Our Primary School caters to students from Kindergarten through Year 6, providing a nurturing environment where every child is valued and supported throughout their learning journey.
GRG is a vibrant and caring community where students are encouraged to enjoy learning and discover the world around them. Founded in a welcoming Christian atmosphere, it’s a place where children’s personalities flourish and lifelong friendships are formed.
Guided by our School Values and the Berry Street Education Model, we promote student wellbeing and positive behaviour through clear instruction and age-appropriate expectations centred on Compassion, Community, Service, and Sacrifice. These core values are woven into all aspects of life as a Georges River Grammar student.
Students learn the importance of forgiveness and restorative practices, helping them move beyond hurt and conflict. Our goal is to nurture happy, motivated learners. Each week, students participate in Chapel services and assemblies where academic achievements and exemplary behaviour are celebrated with awards.
Curriculum
We place strong emphasis on Literacy and Numeracy, understanding that these foundational skills support learning across all subjects. Students in Kindergarten to Year 2 engage with the InitiaLit program to develop phonics, reading, writing, and spelling skills. Our teachers employ effective teaching methods including explicit instruction and inquiry-based learning.
The curriculum follows the six Key Learning Areas mandated by NESA: English, Mathematics, Science & Technology, History & Geography, Creative Arts, and Personal Development, Health and Physical Education, ensuring a balanced and comprehensive education.
In addition, students benefit from specialist-led classes in Physical Education, French, Library, Christian Studies, and Music. Technology is seamlessly integrated into our programs to enrich learning, allowing students to use devices at school and home. We emphasise a balanced approach to screen time and prioritise the development of fine motor skills, handwriting, creative problem-solving, and play-based learning.
Our school is equipped with up-to-date technology, including laptops, iPads, coding resources, and robotics. From Year 4 onward, students are required to bring a laptop for various learning activities. Our Acceptable Use of Technology Policy supports students in developing safe and responsible digital habits.
Wellbeing
At Georges River Grammar, we work closely with parents to provide each child with the care and support they need to build self-esteem and confidence—key foundations for success in school.
If challenges arise, our Wellbeing team supports students in managing their emotions and social development. We also offer experienced Learning Support staff to assist with individual learning needs, whether for remediation or extension.
Education in the Primary School extends beyond academics. We aim to nurture the whole child by fostering personal growth across academic, social, physical, spiritual, and creative areas. Individual learning plans are created to support each student’s development as a complete person.
Strong connections between home and school are essential, and we actively encourage parents to engage with the school community through numerous opportunities, all aimed at supporting the best outcomes for each child.
