EMPOWERING EVERY LEARNER WITH PASSION AND PURPOSE
Prep Learning
Building Strong Foundations in Learning
​
At Our Lady Help of Christians School, our Prep program focuses on developing essential foundational skills, sparking curiosity and nurturing early friendships through engaging, hands-on learning experiences.
​
A strong emphasis on early literacy (structured synthetic phonics based program), numeracy and problem solving provides the building blocks for lifelong learning and success.
​
Through inquiry-based learning, students are encouraged to explore, question and discover - developing a sense of wonder and a deep connection to the world around them.
​
Social and Emotional Learning is embedded throughout each day, supporting students to understand and manage their emotions, build positive relationships, grow in confidence, empathy and resilience within a caring school community.
​
Our Religious Education program helps children understand the example of Jesus through compassion, inclusion and service to others. Students begin to recognise their ability to make a difference, learning about fairness, justice and caring for those in need.

I really like all of my friends at Our Lady Help of Christians School and how we get to sprint around the oval on Sports Day!
