Academic Growth

In Prep, our goals are to build independence, develop language, literacy and numeracy skills, and hone fine and gross motor skills in each student. Aligned with the Australian Government’s Early Years Learning Framework, Prep runs a project-based learning and development program that extends on each child’s interests, skills and needs.

Many Primary School students are involved in our Band program and learn to play an instrument, as well as studying Technology and learning Auslan (Australian Sign Language). Our focus is to help students become independent learners so they can take the next steps in their education.

Alongside our broad subject offering and Distance Learning opportunities, Stage 5 and Stage 6 students take part in our Mentor Program, where they can thrive in their special interest area and develop a project, paired with a professional in that field. With the HSC and ATAR in mind, we also offer Vocational Education & Training for Stage 5 and Stage 6 so students can work towards a nationally recognised qualification as part of their HSC. Some subjects are offered as a compressed HSC course, allowing students to complete an HSC subject prior to Year 12.
