Preparatory Year (Prep)

From 2017 Prep is a compulsory full-time year of school.  Our Prep teachers implement a play-based curriculum helping the children to:
  • get along with others
  • listen to and speak Standard English
  • use their imagination creatively
  • do things for themselves
  • make sense of words and numbers
  • to like school and learning
  • to feel good about themselves
  • to learn about God
 
Interviews for enrolment occur in the year prior to enrolment commencing.  If parents have a student of prep age and wish for them to be enrolled at St John’s, there are encouraged to contact our school office and have their name placed on our contacts list.  Prior to enrolment interviews, parents will be contacted to arrange a time to speak with the principal.
