Years 4–6 at Sunshine Coast Grammar School mark a pivotal time of growth and discovery. Students are supported by enriching programs that nurture curiosity and leadership, enabling students to embrace the world with confidence and purpose.
A Personalised Journey of Learning and Leadership
At the heart of our approach is a commitment to personalised education that enables every student to flourish. Languages, music, and technology spark creativity and collaboration, while debating and leadership roles provide platforms for students to find their voice and inspire others. From Year 4, students explore Japanese or French, engage in specialist Digital Technology lessons, and pursue extension opportunities with a dedicated teacher. Music programs also enrich their journey, whether through the Strings Program in Year 3 or the Instrumental Immersion Program in Year 5.
At Grammar, we encourage our students to look outwards to others and serve our community with passion and purpose. Through initiatives like Grammar Helping Hands, students are reminded that leadership is about making a difference, both in our school and in the broader community. Other programs such as SOAR (Strength, Opportunity, Aspire, Reach) inspire our students to think critically and act ethically. From navigating the Ethics Olympiad to creatively problem-solving in the Da Vinci Decathlon, students are challenged to push their boundaries and celebrate the joy of learning.
A Community That Inspires Belonging
Central to the Grammar experience is the enduring sense of belonging and community. Through the Buddy Program, Year Level Wellbeing initiatives, and the House system, every student builds meaningful connections and grows as a member of our school community. Programs like UR Strong nurture empathy and resilience, ensuring students not only succeed academically but also thrive as individuals who value inclusivity and kindness.
Foundations for Lifelong Purpose
Through the Setting Up for Success program, students develop essential skills for lifelong learning. Our Learning Assets—researching, thinking, collaborating, self-managing, and communicating—are explicitly taught, enabling students to approach challenges with confidence. These years are a time to celebrate their growth as curious and adventurous learners with a strong sense of purpose.
