First term, we help your child settle into the school. We nurture them and ensure they are happy at school.
The Prep curriculum emphasises Literacy and Numeracy skills. It includes a two-hour daily Literacy block and a one-hour daily Numeracy block.
There will be opportunity for your child to explore his/her world. We ensure that our students ask lots of questions and we foster their curiosity.
We teach our students to become good learners and to have a passion for learning.
Your child will sometimes work with the whole class, and at other times in small groups. As your child develops, they will learn to work independently.
