Enquire HereRedlands Preparatory School, a four stream school for children from Kindergarten to Year 2, provides a vibrant, nurturing and child-centred environment for young learners in which they can learn, laugh, play and explore the world around them.
The students at Prep love coming to school and are challenged to achieve their personal and academic potential. The staff develop programs that are research based and have the best interests of our students in mind. A core aim is to ensure the best foundations are laid for children to become confident, independent and passionate life long learners as well as compassionate and socially aware global citizens.
The love of learning fostered in these years ensures that students move forward into Junior School self-assured, ready and willing to accept new challenges and explore wider horizons.
We believe that children learn most effectively when they can:
Teaching and learning activities are therefore carefully designed to allow children not only to be actively involved in the learning process but also to take responsibility for their own learning.
The Prep school recognises that each child is special and unique, and each has different strengths, weaknesses and learning styles. Within the classroom, each child is given the opportunity to work at their own level of ability with personalised programs rather than standard workbooks and materials.
In addition, qualified staff give children additional support on a one-to-one basis or in small groups where necessary. Programs available include:
School and home life are interwoven in the lives of young children. We place great value on developing strong links between home and school to develop partnerships based on mutual understandings, mutual respect and continued dialogue. We are constantly exploring new ways for students, parents and staff to work together.
Class teachers, Year Co-ordinators and the Head of Early Childhood closely monitor each child’s wellbeing. They are assisted by a school counsellor, and visiting specialists, who provide, in consultation with teachers and parents, student support to ensure the academic, social and emotional well-being of each child in our care.
