BOOK A TOUR

At Aitken College we emphasise a strong sense of community and belonging and encourage students to achieve their personal best. Each student’s growth through Primary school is based on five key areas:

Learning Communities

The Primary School has highly skilled professional educators working together to provide nurturing, unique and quality learning experiences for each student. Each innovative learning community provides opportunities for both collaborative and personalised learning that embraces and supports individual differences.

Learning Connections

Developing connections and an understanding of self and others is enhanced by programs that promote responsibility, values and spiritual awareness. A focus on student voice, leadership and service promotes a sense of identity and connection to others. The close connection with the Aitken Secondary school allows for a seamless transition to Year 7 and beyond.

Learning Engagement

It is important to develop confident, active and engaged students who are successful lifelong learners. We encourage students to inquire and be curious about the world around them. A strong home-school partnership enhances the overall learning journey, complementing supportive peer and student-teacher relationships. All of these work together to enrich student engagement from Prep to Year 12.
