Pre-primary
In Western Australia, Pre-primary is the first year of compulsory schooling. The teaching program is planned from the Western Australian Curriculum which is closely aligned to the Foundation level from the Australian Curriculum.
Our inclusive learning environment:
- Encourages independence.
- Develops abilities, skills and attitudes that encourage problem solving and creative thinking,
- Develops positive attitudes towards self and others,
- Provides opportunities for interaction with peers and adults,
- Allows parents to take an active role,
- Develops literacy and numeracy skills, and
- Provides holistic development across all learning areas.
Our specialist early learning teachers provide many activities that are play-based, enabling students to learn by doing. Activities encourage children to learn through hands-on experiences to help build and clarify their understanding of the world.
The teaching of literacy and numeracy skills is an important focus, and students engage in more formal lessons to develop their oral language, reading, viewing, writing, number, space and measurement skills. Formal learning is reinforced and practised through thoughtfully planned play-based activities as well as free play opportunities.
Our Pre-primary program provides a wide variety of experiences to enable children to develop at their own individual rates. The program is child-centred and integrated, providing opportunities for children to reach their full physical, social, emotional and intellectual potential. Our classes provide a colourful, stimulating, challenging and accepting environment, where each child’s uniqueness is valued and nurtured.
