At Gruyere Primary School:

• every child has an individualised learning and homework program
• the student/teacher ratio is excellent
• implementing curriculum change is much easier than in a larger school
• new opportunities and ideas can be implemented quickly
• long term relationships between teachers and pupils foster a greater commitment by both the child and the teacher to each other
• the children are very confident and have great relationships with their teachers and each other

The school works like a big family in many ways. The children have to mix with older and younger peers in and out of the classroom. It allows them to develop wonderful peer relationships, they have a great respect for each other, their teachers and they take great pride in the school.
