Preps - Grade 2 2008
2 x Preps/ Grade 1 classes and 1x Yr 2
Our aim in the Prep Area is to make a child’s first year at school stimulating, successful and enjoyable. We believe that unless a child feels secure and happy in his/her environment, effective learning will not take place.
Beginning school is about making new friends, learning to co-operate and acquiring new skills. It involves both home and school working closely together to provide a stable and caring background against which each child can grow and develop initiative and independence.
Teachers and parents together share this responsibility, that is, to provide an environment where children can grow and develop to reach their highest potential.
Learning is a developmental process and the children in our care are encouraged to develop in their own ways and at their own rate. Their thoughts and ideas are valued and we work on developing their learning by building on what they already know.
Our approach encourages the children to take responsibility for their own learning. We are committed to ensuring that Comet Hill Primary School is a safe and caring environment, one that nurtures mutual respect and trust and consolidates cooperative working habits and attitudes.
