Jacaranda College & Pre-Primary is aimed at educational and child care excellence in a family orientated environment focused on holistic development.
Our education focus, underpinned by educational research, is knowledge based, developmental and child-centred. The school uses an innovative, contemporary style of management and has a professional, talented team dedicated to our motto “We choose equality, dignity, diversity and development”.
Everything that we do at Jacaranda College & Pre-Primary is done to the highest possible standards. This applies to academic work above all; learning and teaching is the core business of the school.
At Jacaranda College & Pre-Primary, our curriculum is structured to ensure not a “vague” reference to the incorporation of 21st Century Skills, but a targeted approach that is translated into actual attainment of proficiency.
Motto / Slogan:
We choose equality, dignity, diversity and development.
Mission and Vision Statement:
Jacaranda College is committed to academic excellence and strives to provide a dynamic, well-resourced and challenging learning environment driven by technology, where children are encouraged to grow in wisdom, knowledge and leadership nurturing equality, diversity, integrity, courage and respect.
We envisage for our children to:
• Excel academically and be proficient in all core scholastic capabilities and disciplines;
• Become independent leaders in a global society;
• Be confidently innovative and free-thinking;
• Be emotionally and spiritually intelligent, secure, content and fulfilled;

• Be competent to take responsibility and accountability for their own considered and measured choices, decisions and lives, following which, they consequentially, realise their full magnificent potential.
Values:
Our values and ethics are firmly founded on a Christian value system. In this we hold close:-
• A spirit of humility, patience and gentleness
• A spirit of love, faith and goodness
• A spirit of service and restraint
• A spirit of obedience and modesty
• A spirit of optimism, joy and peace
• A spirit of forgiveness, compassion and acceptance
And we:
• embrace diversity and encourage tolerance in respect of all individualism;
• believe in the value of strong and long-term relationships, practice, teach and enforce principles of neighbourly love, humanity, dignity and respect;
• acknowledge the worth of each person’s right to choose and every person’s free will;
• place a high premium on equality and fairness.
Our all inclusive service allows parents and children to enjoy “home-time” with each other!
Working parents are often stuck between a rock and a hard place. Today's cost of living demands, almost without exception, that both parents work full-day. Dealing with the pressure of challenging careers, simply managing travelling and traffic congestion and then having to ensure enough time for quality homework supervision or sports/art development of children creates serious emotional and practical time-management conflict situations for today's parents.
Our flexible service structures provide complete solutions, answering academic instruction as well as care and supervision needs, ensuring that parents can spend quality evening family time with their children, resting assuredly that all the needs of their children have been met.
Our service offering includes an option of:-
● A comprehensive, all inclusive option which includes:
° formal academic instruction,
° breakfast for the pre-primary and lunch for all children according to a set menu,
° homework and academic support and supervision,
° aftercare (leisure time supervision),
° sport & extra-mural activity supervision/transportation (school-organised suppliers/centres/clubs), and holiday care; or alternatively
● The traditional school instruction day option.
We have a to-home transportation service available in the afternoons. Morning collections will be available for limited areas only due to logistical schedule arrangements to ensure that all children are at school in time for the commencement of formal school time. More detail in respect of current service areas for morning transportation is available from our office.
