• Creative and academically challenging educational programs

Our staff deliver a comprehensive curriculum: including our highly regarded systematic synthetic phonics program in the early year's Prep to Grade 2. We have invested in rich professional development and aligned our teaching pedagogy to current best practice, especially around literacy acquisition. This will enable all our students to achieve their full potential. 

We currently have the capacity to take a percentage of children out of our zone. Students residing in our local area boundary are guaranteed a place at our school. For personal tours, please contact the school office on 9558 0599. Come and see the Clayton South difference!
