Choosing a Small School


At Don Valley we are passionate advocates about the advantages of a small school environment for the primary school years.

 

Why might a small school be the right choice for your child:

  • Small class sizes
  • A sense of belonging and being part of a community
  • Safe, caring family type environment
  • Nurturing the whole child
  • Builds confidence
  • Enables strong student voice
  • High teacher to student ratio
  • Greater scope for individualised learning
  • Capacity to support and extend
  • Flexible learning programs and activities for engagement
  • Greater opportunities to develop leadership in all students
