Each class has children of similar age with a class teacher as well as additional staffing in and Kindergarten. Year levels work closely and cooperatively together, ensuring a unified and harmonious working relationship between classes.
Primary School students are immersed in a world of cooperative, purposeful and interesting learning. Within this context, the gifts and abilities of individual children are nurtured. Opportunities are provided to use these abilities as the children work out their relationships with God, people and their culture or environment. Indeed, it is the school's view that relationship is the most effective teaching strategy and teachers should have high expectations of their students and themselves. |
At Tyndale Christian School all students are valued members of the school community and all are gifted in unique ways. At our school no student is valued over others and therefore the school does not place individual students on a pedestal.
