In Grades 5/6, we see ourselves as leaders of our school. We take pride in being positive role models for younger students and showing respect, responsibility and resilience in everything we do. Our classroom is built on strong relationships, clear expectations and a shared belief that everyone can grow.

Mrs Maduka and Zara work closely with students each day, providing support, encouragement and challenge where needed. With our small class size, every student is known, supported and given opportunities to succeed.
We are thoughtful Readers and developing Authors. Each day we dedicate time to strengthening fluency, comprehension and vocabulary. We explore quality texts, share ideas through discussion and learn how authors make their writing engaging and purposeful. In Writing, students are encouraged to develop their voice, improve their spelling and punctuation, and carefully edit their work to make it clearer and stronger.
In Mathematics, we focus on building strong foundations and real understanding. Students are explicitly taught strategies and encouraged to explain their thinking — not just give an answer. We learn from one another by sharing how we solved a problem and discussing different approaches.

Using Essential Assessment – My Numeracy, we monitor progress and target individual learning needs. Our focus is on growth. Students are encouraged to compare their learning to where they started, not to one another. We celebrate improvement, effort and persistence, knowing that confidence grows through practice.

As senior students, we are proud to be active members of the Nyah District Primary School community. We visit members of our local community, support the Men’s Shed and enjoy spending time at Jacaranda Lodge. Through our Better Buddies Program, we organise activities and mentor younger students, helping them feel safe and connected at school.

At NDPS, we believe that learning is stronger when we support one another.
'Together We Learn.'
