Primary School at Quinns Baptist College

Maryann Malzer – Quinns Baptist College Primary Principal

Welcome

It is a pleasure to welcome you to Quinn’s Baptist College Primary School, a vibrant learning community where all students can thrive!

Our thriving student body is a product of our safe and caring College community which is driven by our dedicated and nurturing professional staff, proactive pastoral care programs and our commitment to Christian values. We believe in the potential of all students and are committed to cultivating their academic, social and spiritual well-being. Our positive learning environment is integral to fulfilling our goal of meeting the individual needs of our students and fostering a desire for learning and excellence.

From their earliest learning experiences in Kindergarten and Pre-Primary we focus on harnessing a child’s natural curiosity to develop a love of learning and to build essential foundations for numeracy, literacy and positive relationships; through play, discovery and an appreciation of the wider world. Our shaping of a child’s learning habits in these formative years, establishes a firm foundation for their future learning success.

Throughout their Primary school years, our students are able to discover and develop their skills and talents through a range of learning opportunities. These include a comprehensive academic curriculum, individual and small group support, music tuition, extra-curricular activities, physical education, interschool sport programs and much more.

The school environment is friendly, supportive, well-ordered and disciplined, with an emphasis on traditional values taken from Galatians 5:22-23:

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

Quinns Baptist College has a strong sense of School Community by welcoming parent participation and engagement in their child’s learning.

We look forward to educating your child - to sharing their formative years, seeing them grow, discovering their strengths and preparing them for the future.

“Those who trust in the Lord for help will find their strength renewed. They will rise on wings like eagles: they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not grow weak.”

Junior Primary K-2
Our Kindergarten to Year 2 classes aim to provide a dynamic and caring environment for all children in our care. Through the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), we believe that building upon children's experiences and prior knowledge provides the best foundation for learning in early childhood.
The Early Years Learning Framework bases all learning on the following five learning outcomes:
- Children have a strong sense of identity
- Children are connected with and contribute to their world
- Children have a strong sense of well being
- Children are effective communicators
Fundamental to this framework is a view of children's lives as characterised by BELONGING, BEING and BECOMING.
"Play provides opportunities for children to learn, as they discover, create, improvise and imagine. Play provides a supportive environment where children can ask questions, solve problems and engage in critical thinking".
Alongside the Early Years Learning Framework the Junior Primary classes follow the Western Australian Curriculum and Assessment Outline.The Junior Primary classrooms are filled with displays and celebrate learning, discovery and achievements. Junior Primary classes offer a thematic approach to the Curriculum. Each theme is carefully chosen with a consideration to the age and interests of the students.

During the Upper Primary years, as well as following the Western Australian Curriculum and Assessment Outline there is an emphasis on:
- Increasing personal responsibilities
