The Junior School at Mt Eliza North Primary.

The multi-age classroom is an environment where the teacher provides a developmentally appropriate curriculum based on each child’s needs. It recognises that students not only learn differently but at varying rates. We promote a diverse environment where children do not feel the need to compete, only to do their best. They develop a positive self-concept and enjoy being both the nurtured as a Prep, and the nurturer as a Year Two.
Multi-age classroom teachers become adept at developing lessons with differentiated assignments that appeal to the various developmental levels in the class. Students are the beneficiaries. Younger and older students are catered for by the depth of questioning and the actual task assigned to the individual student. During their three years together, student and teacher relationships grow and a strong bond develops between student and teacher.
