Prep
Welcome
Starting school is an exciting and challenging time for your child. Our aim is to ensure that all children are given the necessary support and security so they can take that step happily and confidently.
Our Foundation classrooms provide a safe yet stimulating environment where children are given every opportunity to thrive and are provided with high level care and education.
Our experienced teachers ensure a supportive learning environment, where every child will:
- Engage in quality teaching and learning programs to build solid literacy and numeracy skills, including explicit daily phonics instruction and numeracy fluency.
- Be challenged and supported through developmentally appropriate activities to promote physical, social, emotional and intellectual development.
- Have their progress carefully monitored against Victorian Curriculum 2.0, and have this progress clearly communicated to parents through our reporting processes.
- Participate in weekly wellbeing lessons and values-based programs to help build skills in positive relationships, resilience, emotional regulation and social skills.
- Be nurtured and supported through our extensive Engagement & Wellbeing programs and access to Mental Health & Wellbeing teams.
Your child will get a real taste of school life when they participate in our School Readiness Program in Term 4, prior to their first year of school. The program has been designed to gradually introduce children to the classroom, the broader school community, and key members of our Foundation team. Teachers take the time to observe your child’s social and physical interactions and begin planning for the start of their school journey next year.
We look forward to meeting you and we are always willing to chat to you about your child if you have any concerns regarding them starting school.
Kind Regards,
Kellie Thorp
P-4 Campus Principal
