Step into Prep at Warranwood

 

The first year of school is a truly special milestone. At Warranwood, our Prep program provides rich opportunities for children to develop responsibility for their own learning within a supportive, inclusive and differentiated environment.

Learning experiences are thoughtfully designed to balance play-based exploration with explicit, targeted instruction in literacy and numeracy. This ensures strong foundations for future learning, while nurturing curiosity, confidence 

and engagement.

Recognising that young children are naturally curious, science and inquiry play an important role throughout the Prep year. Each term, our Big Ideas guide learning across Humanities, Science, Thinking Skills, and Design and Technologies. These Big Ideas create meaningful connections across the curriculum and support deep understanding through exploration, play and guided instruction.
