Welcome to Sorrento Primary School

Year 5 & 6

 

Years 5 and 6 offer a dynamic and engaging learning environment that prepares students for the challenges of high school and beyond.

In Years 5 and 6, students continue to build on their knowledge and develop their critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills. Our curriculum is designed to be challenging, yet enriching, and offers an array of opportunities for students to explore new subjects, develop their interests, and further their understanding of the world.

In Years 5 and 6 of the Victorian Curriculum, students develop advanced critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills. English refines reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, while Mathematics builds advanced problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Science encourages scientific knowledge, and Humanities and Social Sciences shape student understanding of the world around them. Health and Physical Education develop strategies for promoting wellbeing, leadership, and responsible behaviour.

"I love Gr 5 because of the cool projects, new subjects like robotics, and fun class trips!" ~ Ash B.
