Junior Entry in 2023

Launceston Grammar has gained accreditation of the globally recognised International Baccalaureate (IB) World School with the implementation of the Primary Years Programme (PYP).

Taught in schools across the globe, the IB PYP provides benchmarks for what students should learn through the curriculum, guidelines for teaching methodology and clearly stated assessment practices. The programme also underpins high standards of literacy and numeracy – essential for our global learners and leaders of tomorrow.

In our school we address the Australian Curriculum, but we also transcend it and help our students to achieve rich conceptual learning about issues that connect humanity across the world.

At Launceston Grammar Junior Campus, children are nurtured and challenged in an inspiring learning environment. We are informed by 175 years of history and tradition, committed to engaging children in learning and excited about what the future holds.

Our Junior Campus is an accredited International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, implementing the Primary Years Programme (PYP) from Early Learning to Grade 6. The PYP an approach to education which views children as active learners, who acquire knowledge, skills and understanding through a balance of explicit teaching and inquiry-based learning. We provide a strong foundation in numeracy and literacy while supporting students to become curious, self-motivated and inquiring learners. Our curriculum is aligned with the Australian Curriculum.

Real world learning takes place in welcoming environments where our educators foster meaningful relationships. As we know our children well, the transition from Early Learning to School is very smooth.

Learning at Launceston Grammar is enjoyable, relevant and engaging – our School is a great place!
