Play-Based Learning

In Prep we begin teaching by using a ‘play based’ system with specific goals and outcomes for your child’s first year of education. Learning can take many forms:

  • Outdoor education- gross motor skills
  • Numeracy focused learning
  • Language focused learning
  • Investigating the natural world
  • Personal and social learning
  • Imagining and responding

All learning is done in small groups, with rotations of activities. Consideration is always given to individual student abilities and interests.

Learning follows the Australian Curriculum for English, Maths, Science and Social Sciences with Art and HPE.
