Course Overview

About This Course

Junior Years Reception to Year 5 Girls Only is Walford Anglican School for Girls' CRICOS-registered primary programme for international students, spanning Reception through Year 5 within the school's Junior School (which runs from Reception to Year 6). Learning is anchored in the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), which Walford describes as helping students "become curious, knowledgeable and compassionate learners who inquire into real-world issues." Alongside classroom teachers, specialist staff deliver dedicated learning areas such as music and sport, and small class sizes mean that, in the school's words, "every Junior School girl is known and treasured by the wider Walford community," with intervention and extension support tailored to individual needs. A purpose-built wellbeing framework underpins pastoral care for each cohort, complemented by early leadership opportunities such as Junior School Captains, House Captains, a peer buddy programme, public speaking and the student-led Service in Action (SIA) Club. Walford is a single-sex Anglican day and boarding school at 316 Unley Road, Hyde Park, South Australia, holding CRICOS Provider No. 00563J. On completing Year 6, Junior School students transition directly into Walford's Middle School from Year 7.
