JUNIOR SCHOOL: YEAR 2
It is exciting to see our Year 2 students further develop their positive learning habits as they engage with school life.
They will continue to build strong foundations in English, mathematics and humanities through purposeful learning experiences that develop key skills, curiosity, and confidence. This learning is further enhanced by our specialist classes in Chinese language and culture, performing arts, physical education, science, technologies, and visual arts.
The Junior School is comprised of the Eblana building (Building E) and the Don Ingram Building (Building I).
- Our Year 2 students are located on Level 1 of Building E.
- The Junior School Admin Office is located on the Ground Floor of Building E.

Year 2 students take part in a Shoreham Familiarisation Day towards the end of the year, giving them a wonderful preview of the campsite in readiness for their first school Learning Journey as Year 3s.
The day will be filled with fun, teamwork, and creativity, while helping students build confidence, connect with friends, and feel excited about the experiences ahead. The day will nurture students’ social skills, resilience, collaboration, communication, problem-solving, and overall wellbeing.
It is sure to be a memorable experience that will leave them excited and well-prepared for their first camp next year.
