​​​​​​​​Welcome to Prep

At Caningeraba we aim to create a relaxed, secure and supportive environment where children are encouraged to investigate and explore to their individual potential.

These first years of formal education are full of adventure, discovery and growing independence. Substantial time is spent laying firm foundations of understanding within literacy and numeracy with the classroom teacher.

​Our Prep year is a new learning environment with exciting things to do, see, touch and experience.  Your child will find friends to share with and teachers who respect them as capable and competent learners.  Learning involves developing a relationship of trust.  We aim to create a relaxed, secure and supportive environment where children are encouraged to investigate and explore to their individual potential. 

Caningeraba preparatory teachers implement the content of the Australian Curriculum in the key learning areas of English, Mathematics, Science, Health & Physical Education, The Arts, Technologies (Digital and Design), History and Geography (HASS).


As well as engaging with the Australian Curriculum, our Prepstars will also learn to:

  • take on responsibilities

  • become more independent

  • respect other people

  • co-operate with others

  • make sensible choices about their health and safety

  • develop their physical skills

  • learn about their environment

  • develop their oral language

  • develop their early mathematical understanding

  • develop their early literacy understandings

  • learn how to be thinkers and problem solvers

  • use their imagination and creativity


If you would like to know more about the Australian Curriculum for the prep year please visit the Australian Curriculum website.

Prep Orientation and Prep Experience Sessions

We look forward to meeting with you at our Prep Orientation sessions for parents and caregivers on Wednesday 1 November at 9:00am or 6:00 pm.  We then look forward to meeting your child at our Prep Experience Sessions. This year we are providing several opportunities for your child to visit our school and participate in transition activities in a small group setting.

These sessions will be held each morning (9:15am-10.45am) from Monday 6 November – Friday 17 November and will provide the opportunity for your child to become familiar with our school setting, meet our experienced staff and transition smoothly into Prep. Extra sessions will also be available on Wednesdays 8 & 15 November and also Fridays 10 & 17  November. These sessions will be 11:30am – 1:00pm.

 

Prep Orientation Sessions for Parent/Carer and Prep Experience Sessions MUST be booked online.

 

Once we have received your child's completed enrolment application you will be emailed a link to our online booking system.

Please note, these links will be emailed out in Term 4.
