Pacific Lutheran College

Prep: Nurturing and Stimulating Inquiry
 
This important foundational year builds on learning that has already occurred at home, in the community and at the preschool or kindergarten. The welcoming, warm environment enables children and parents to develop life long friendships as they come together from a variety of life experiences and backgrounds to begin their journey of learning at Pacific. Since its inception in 2001, Pacific has offered a highly successful five day Prep program that aims to assist each child to make a smooth transition from home to school in a nurturing and supportive environment. In the recognition of the importance of maturity and other developmental factors, children will need to turn five by June 30th of their year of entry.
 
The child-centred program caters for individual needs and interests, through a carefully planned learning environment where the child feels accepted, secure and comfortable. Drawing on the Reggio Emlio approach and the Queensland Studies Authority Guidelines the program aims to stimulate each child's development across the Early Learning Years study areas of:
 
    * Communicating
    * Creating and Designing
    * Investigating and Understanding
    * Environments
    * Sense of Self and others
    * Social living and Learning
    * Christian Studies
 
Foundations are laid for the development of literacy and numeracy skills with children supported to develop these skills at a rate that is appropriate for each child. Children are enriched by specialist teaching in the areas of Japanese, Health and Physical Education, and Music.
 
Involvement in specialist programs which assist in gross and fine motor skills as well as the development of left and right brain linkages bring benefits that will support a higher level of performance for the present and the future. Learning becomes more formalised and structured as the year unfolds to enable a smooth transition into Year One.
