PREP

TO YEAR 2

The Prep to Year 2 learning community provides an ideal start to full-time school for young learners who are bursting to read and write, to discover and explore, and to share their thinking with their friends and classmates.

With a focus on a love of learning, our students explore the thrill and wonder of a rich environment of words and numbers.  Literacy, including a focus on reading through sounds and connecting vocabulary to digital mediums, as well as through real-world adventures, provides the launch pad for developing fluency and confidence with all communication.

STRUCTURED LEARNING

Structured learning is a specialised craft learnt over many years of experience. All children love to play, explore and discover. This is underpinned by a clear purpose and curriculum-linked process which drives outcomes.

Capped class sizes and strong staff; student ratios foster greater relationships and close learning partnerships between parents, teachers and students.

THOROUGH LITERACY AND NUMERACY DEVELOPMENT

Building a solid base of critical foundational learning is the cornerstone of future academic success and development.

Strong phonics (teaching method) core provides the foundation for emergent reading development.

YEAR 1 AND 2

Subject-specific specialist teachers support the work of class teachers in Learning Technologies, 21st Century Literacy, WeDo Lego/Coding, Global Learning, Chinese, Visual Art, Drama, Music, and Health and Physical Education. Enrichment programs add an exciting edge to learning as students develop their personal interests and passions.

TECHNOLOGY RICH AND LEARNING IN NATURE

Students have opportunities to further develop their critical thinking and collaborative learning skills in the technology-rich spaces of the Lemana Café and Recording Studio and nearby conneXions learning hub.

Sustainability and environmental stewardship are important components of the curriculum. The Kitchen Garden Program and facilities such as the Valley Campus Education Outdoors and Environmental Centre, Scotch Oakburn Park, the adjacent Wetlands as well as Claremont Garden and Park, all provide exceptional learning opportunities in this field.
