Junior School
Our Junior School has at its core, positive and constructive relationships where expectations are high and learning is relevant and comprehensive. Our team is dedicated to developing the essential skills and values needed to empower students in their learning and approach to life. As a result, our students have a strong, positive attitude to overcoming challenges, and are resilient and well-rounded.
Unrivalled Opportunity
Located on the shores of Lake Jindabyne in the foothills of Australia’s beautiful alpine region, Snowy Mountains Grammar School provides endless opportunities for students. Complementing our strong academic programs is our rich sporting heritage, with Junior School students competing in a variety of Snowsports and Equestrian events throughout the year.
Our location ensures our students are well connected with the environment and the community.
