Pre-Primary

Through quality Early Childhood practice, we aim to ensure that the children at John XXIII College Pre-Primary are educated in a welcoming, colourful, stimulating environment which is safe, secure, happy and caring. We recognise the importance of celebrating all children's achievements and fostering their self-esteem. We see all children as talented full of wonder and with endless potential.

The Pre-Primary program takes into account each child's aptitude to learn through different forms of activity, in particular through active involvement and play. We aim to develop a positive attitude to learning; for children to see learning as enjoyable and as something in which they can have a direct influence on.

Our program is based around fun and stimulating experiences that foster the philosophy of 'learning through play'. We aim to engage children in play based experiences that develop their language skills, imagination, social skills, self confidence and independent behaviour.

The children are encouraged to participate in a range of activities that promote developmentally appropriate ideas and concepts. Our daily routine provides the opportunities for a balanced program including indoor and outdoor activities, teacher guided experiences and independent free play. The children engage in a range of activities such as craft, painting, construction, writing, dance, movement and role play to develop their understanding of the world around them.

Our Pre Primary program operates five full days per week. The program is run by a qualified Early Childhood Teacher and a qualified Teacher Assistant. The maximum class is 28. Families are recognised as the primary educators of their children and teachers collaborate with families in the education of their children.
