Oxford Falls Grammar’s educational approach captures and cultivates our youngest students’ wonder, curiosity and excitement as they commence school. Our balanced curriculum and positive learning environment builds the spiritual, social, physical and intellectual dimensions of each child, as they discover their passions and develop their identity.
Overview
We understand each child is unique and will learn and respond to different styles and approaches. Our teachers foster a genuine love of learning by preparing creative and innovative lessons with the needs of each student in mind. Our specialist sport, language, performing arts, creative arts and music teachers develop each child’s talents and passions across their areas of interest.
Kindergarten – Year 2
Kindergarten lays the important foundation for a child’s educational journey. Our teachers design stimulating, play-based academic experiences that develop creative and critical thinking, cultivating lifelong learning.
Building a student’s literacy and numeracy skills is paramount during this stage and is supplemented with specialist subjects; music, drama, languages and art. STEM, the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, is introduced in Kindergarten to develop a student’s natural process of inquiry and innovation.

A Day in the Life of Kindy Students
Years 3 – 6
The vision for students in Years 3 – 6 is to strengthen their academic skills, emotional well-being, social abilities, spiritual awareness and personal character. Building on our foundation of educational excellence, Junior School children have access to a wide range of activities including Robotics, Sport, Music, Dance and Drama. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are integrated into a creative curriculum for each class.
Students participate in a variety of local, national and global outreach initiatives. They research and present information on relevant causes and services for the school to support. This integration of inquiry-based learning with a compassionate mindset shows students how a culture of generosity can positively impact other people’s lives.
Co-curricular activities are a vital part of school life, engaging a diverse group of students in classes and activities that encourage them to try new things. Through these experiences, students discover more about themselves, their talents, and their interests.

Student Wellbeing
Our Junior School wellbeing program is designed to foster well-rounded, healthy, and aspirational students who approach life with positivity and a drive for greatness. Our Heads of Wellbeing collaborate with teachers and school counsellors to create a supportive and engaging learning environment. We believe that when students feel cared for, their academic success naturally follows. Research highlights that a focus on wellbeing not only enhances learning outcomes but also helps students thrive in every aspect of their lives.
Guided by Christian principles, our program recognises that every student is uniquely created and valued by God. This foundation shapes how we teach social and emotional skills, enabling students to manage emotions, make thoughtful decisions, and build respectful relationships. Through daily practice, we foster a sense of belonging, ensuring that each child feels seen and supported as they grow into confident, compassionate individuals.
