Welcome to the Senior Years Learning Community

The Senior Years at St. Brendan’s Primary School is an exciting and empowering time for our students in Years 5 and 6. With five vibrant and dynamic classes, this stage of learning is all about developing independence, critical thinking, and preparing for the next step in their educational journey. 

In the Senior Years, students engage in Ochre English and Maths, where they refine their skills and develop deeper understanding in literacy and numeracy. They also participate in Source of Life Religious Education lessons and Inquiry-Based Learning, encouraging them to think critically, ask important questions, and explore new ideas. 

Throughout the year, students have the opportunity to participate in enriching incursions and excursions, further enhancing their learning. Our Year 6 students also attend an exciting two-night camp, where they build independence, leadership skills, and lifelong memories with their classmates. 

A key focus in the Senior Years is the development of Resilience, Rights, and Respectful Relationships. Through dedicated lessons and activities, students in Years 5 and 6 learn to manage challenges, build healthy relationships, and develop strong emotional resilience, equipping them with the skills needed to thrive both academically and personally. 

With a 1:1 MacBook Air program, students have the technology at their fingertips to enhance their learning experience, engage in creative projects, and collaborate with their peers. This ensures they are well-prepared for the digital world ahead. 

The Senior Years Learning Community at St. Brendan’s is a place where students are empowered to take ownership of their learning, grow as individuals, and build the confidence they need for their future. We’re excited to watch them continue to flourish as they approach the next phase of their educational journey!
