Why is Prep important?
Prep provides the foundations needed to succeed at school.

How does Prep achieve this?
By developing:

- physical abilities, including gross and fine motor skill
- a play and inquiry approach to learning character through: the confidence to explore, the ability to communicate, the levels of independence, group/team work, persistence and curiosity.
