Queensland children are required to undertake Prep prior to Year 1. Prep is a full-time program that children attend from Monday to Friday during normal school hours, 8.50am-2.50pm.
Prep provides the foundation for your child's success at school by developing:
- the knowledge, understanding and skills detailed in the Australian Curriculum for English, Mathematics, Science and History (Foundation Year)
- a positive approach to learning
- independence and confidence
- creativity and problem-solving skills
- physical abilities, including gross and fine motor skills.
In Prep, teachers support children's learning by making connections between school and their experiences at home, kindergarten or childcare.
To be eligible for Prep, children must be aged 5 years by 30 June in the year they start Prep.
At Kingston State School we provide a range of opportunities to support students prior to entering Prep including:
- KindylinQ
- KENG Playgroup
- Powering into Prep orientation sessions
- Tailored Transitions
To enrol your child in Prep at Kingston State School please visit or contact our office on 3827 6222 or admin@kingstonss.eq.edu.au.
