A school built around the child

From the first day of ECD A to the last of Grade 7, every child at Faith Junior School is known by name, taught with care and stretched a little further than they thought possible.

Quality education

A full primary curriculum from ECD A to Grade 7, taught in bright, well-resourced classrooms by teachers who know each pupil.

Boarding & day

Families choose boarding or day places. Boarders live in a home-like routine of study, meals, sport and rest, supervised at all times.

A family, not a queue

A nurturing, family-oriented environment. Faith moves mountains — and so does a child who feels safe enough to try.

Our mission

To provide an excellent, Christ-centred education that develops confident, compassionate and capable young people who are grounded in faith, inspired to learn, equipped to lead and prepared to make a positive difference in their communities and the world.

At Faith Junior School, we believe every child is uniquely gifted and deserves the opportunity to discover their potential.

We seek to develop the whole child — academically, spiritually, socially, physically and emotionally — through excellent teaching, strong character development, creativity, sport, technology and meaningful experiences beyond the classroom.

We want our pupils to leave Faith Junior School with:

01 Faith A strong moral and spiritual foundation.

02 Knowledge A love of learning and the confidence to ask questions.

03 Character Integrity, kindness, discipline, resilience and respect.

04 Confidence The courage to believe in themselves and their abilities.

05 Leadership The skills and responsibility to influence others positively.

06 Purpose An understanding that their gifts can be used to serve others and make a difference.

Our motto

Growing in Faith. Learning for Life. Leading the Future.
