The Head of Primary and Deputy Principal is Mr. Graeme Feeney.
Welcome to Scone Grammar School! Primary classes at Scone Grammar School extend from Kindergarten to Year 6 and provide a student-centred approach to education, within a caring, supportive and well-resourced teaching and learning environment. Our priority is seeking to establish strong foundations for all students in literacy and numeracy, together with providing opportunity to participate in a well-balanced, rigorous and stimulating academic and co-curricular programme. Smaller class sizes enable teachers to focus upon the individual needs of each child and dedicated staff work collaboratively as a strong team, to establish engaging and productive learning environments across all K-6 classes. Great importance is placed on our Christian values base, with weekly Christian Studies classes and Chapel programmes, supporting this important area. Strong partnership links are fostered between school and home; ensuring all students are encouraged in a consistent and supportive manner. As part of a K-12 school, Primary students enjoy the benefits of access to specialist staff and facilities, including the Bullock Library and Technology Centre. Year 6 students are able to make a smooth transition into secondary schooling, while maintaining established friendships, consistent values and continuity in their education. A strong pastoral care emphasis is maintained throughout Primary classes, supported by established Peer Support and Year 6 ‘Kindergarten’ Buddy programmes. Student leadership is actively developed, together with opportunities for Year 3-6 participation in the Student Representative Council (SRC). All students are encouraged and supported to find their strengths; to work hard at developing other areas; and to do their best at all times. Visitors are always welcome and I look forward to meeting with you.
