In my role as Head of the Junior Campus I have the privilege of meeting with prospective parents as they work through the process of deciding which school their child will attend in the future. There is nothing more enjoyable than walking around our Campus, sharing our story. The visits I find the most rewarding are those that include challenging questions about different aspects of education and in particular:

‘Why would we send our child to the Junior Campus?’ and ‘What do you offer at your school that is different?’

In responding to these questions, as a mother of two children, I often find it helpful to put on my own parent’s hat.

I would send my child to the Junior Campus because:

The Campus, through its work as an International Baccalaureate World School, is genuinely and very effectively preparing children for life in the 21st century;

There is a very positive culture in which children flourish and have hope for the future;

There are internationally recognised expectations in relation to teaching and learning practice;

The School has strongly embedded virtues;

The Campus has a very strong and special sense of community; and

Each child is genuinely known, and their strengths and needs catered for.

As parents it is critical for us to know that our children are given the best possible start in life and at the Junior Campus we are proud of the way we partner with parents to make this a reality.
