PORTSIDE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE PRIMARY SCHOOL - FOUNDATION TO YEAR 6

​

We believe the Primary years of education set the values for the rest of life. It is during these formative years that the foundations for knowledge, attitudes and belief are laid.

​

We provide a nurturing, supportive and structured environment to give our students the confidence to explore and learn collaboratively. Christian values are strongly emphasised, with the focus on developing each student’s character and success.

​

Portside Christian College meets the goals of the Australian curriculum for our Primary School students. We provide a dynamic program which supports and extends student's abilities and creates independence.
