Laying the Foundation for Success
Beginning Prep is such a big milestone in your child’s life and we support the transition from Kinder to prep to make this a seamless and positive new beginning. The first year of school is a crucial time for building essential skills. In Prep, a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy is established through explicit instruction and hands-on learning. A phonics approach, combined with decodable readers, helps students develop strong reading and writing skills from the outset. In mathematics, manipulatives are used to make learning interactive and concrete. Clear routines and expectations are taught and reinforced to instill positive learning behaviours, ensuring every student is engaged and ready to succeed.
