Network of Care
At the heart of our Primary School is a strong commitment to student wellbeing. Our Network of Care ensures that every student is known, noticed and supported throughout their educational journey, creating a strong sense of belonging and connection to school.
Through a student-centred approach, we provide access to a highly qualified team of wellbeing professionals who work collaboratively with students, families and teachers to support both academic growth and personal wellbeing. By developing meaningful relationships and understanding each child’s individual needs, we help students feel valued, encouraged and empowered to achieve their personal best.
Our comprehensive wellbeing framework includes:

Our approach to teaching and learning in the Primary school is guided by contemporary research from cognitive science and the Science of Learning, helping students build, retain and apply knowledge effectively. Simply put, this means we draw on research about how the brain learns most effectively to shape classroom practice. Teachers use strategies that are proven to improve learning, memory, understanding and long term knowledge retention, ensuring students are supported to achieve their personal best and develop confidence as capable learners.
Specialist teachers deliver programs across a range of key learning areas, enriching the educational experience through expert instruction and diverse learning opportunities. Students benefit from access to outstanding facilities that support academic, creative and physical development, including the Multi-Purpose Stadium, Resource Centre, extensive sporting grounds, and purpose-built specialist spaces for Visual Arts, Music Performance, Food Technology and Science.
Leadership Opportunities
Leadership development begins early at Moama Anglican Grammar. Through our Pastoral Care program, all students are encouraged to demonstrate responsibility, initiative, empathy and service to others.
As students progress through the Primary years, they are provided with purposeful opportunities to further develop these important qualities. Students in Years 5 and 6 participate in a buddy program, building meaningful relationships with Kindergarten and Year 1 students through regular mentoring and support.
Year 6 students also attend an intensive Leadership Day at Gunbower Estate and lead the school’s Peer Support Program throughout the year. This experience develops confidence, communication skills and a commitment to serving others.
Formal leadership opportunities are available for selected students through roles such as:
- School Leaders
- House Captains
- Music Captains
- Co-curricular Captains
These positions allow students to contribute positively to school life while developing valuable leadership skills that will support them beyond their primary years.
Elective Sports Program
Our Elective Sports Program provides students in Years 4 to 6 with the opportunity to pursue their sporting interests while developing skills, confidence and teamwork.
Students participate in a dedicated 100-minute elective sports session each week, selecting from a variety of sporting and recreational activities. Programs are designed to cater for all experience levels, enabling students to challenge themselves, experience success and work towards personal goals.
The program aims to:
- Develop individual sporting skills and fitness
- Build teamwork and sportsmanship
- Promote participation and enjoyment
- Encourage personal growth and achievement
- Prepare students for community and inter-school sporting competitions
Through these experiences, students are supported to develop healthy lifestyles and a lifelong appreciation for physical activity.
