We place great value on providing an outstanding Pre-Kindergarten program that aims to give our students the best opportunity to thrive as they prepare for formal schooling. We recognise that each child comes to school with their own interests, strengths, and prior experiences that have shaped them in their journey of learning thus far. It is our role as early years educators to nurture the uniqueness of each child and to facilitate learning experiences that engage and challenge growing minds.
Children must turn four years old before 30 April in the year they enter Pre-Kindergarten.
There are a number of separate Pre-Kindergarten classes across the week, with options for 2, 3 or 5 day attendance. The classes operate during all four school terms.
Through inquiry, students explore a vast range of key learning areas through play experiences. Play guides the direction of our learning through teacher observation, questioning and student-led inquiry.
Pre-Kindergarten at St Peter's provides the opportunity for students to thrive as they prepare for formal schooling.
At St Peter’s, we embrace our school motto of ‘Life Through Christ,’ sharing it with all our students, including our youngest Pre-Kindergarten students, from the very first moment they step through the school gates. Life Through Christ shapes everything we do, as we continually strive to equip students not only for their time at St Peter’s but also as they progress into high school. Our inquiry units are thoughtfully explored through a Biblical lens, fostering in students a deep sense of wonder and curiosity for the incredible world God has created. It is our heartfelt aim to nurture this curiousity, helping students appreciate the beauty and purpose of God’s creation.
At St Peter’s, we recognise that early literacy and numeracy development play a vital role in preparing our students for formal schooling. We strive to provide rich opportunities for our students to develop their literacy and numeracy skills through structured lessons and play. We draw on current educational research to implement programs to support our students in developing key foundational skills that will be built upon as they transition into Kindergarten. With this strong foundation, we give our students a springboard to thriving as they start school.
Inquiry shapes a significant part of our learning culture. In our Pre- Kindergarten programs, we draw on the natural curiosity of our students to drive our Units of Inquiry. We find out what they already know, remembering that each child brings with them a wealth of knowledge, and encourage our students to question and investigate through experiences that promote play, discovery and exploration. Through inquiry, our Pre-Kindergarten students take their first steps towards developing the knowledge, conceptual understanding and skills to guide them in becoming global citizens who can make a difference in their own lives, their communities, and beyond.
