Our preschool
St Agnes Preschool
The onsite Preschool is located in the West Unit alongside the early years classes. Our staff have high levels of expertise in Early Years Education. We offer programs to support children’s early development in an educational setting.
Preschool children often have opportunities to be included in whole school events. These include our end of year celebrations, Harmony Day, Sports Day and Assembly. Pre-school has access to the computer suite, specialist teachers, gymnasium, oval, playgrounds and resource centre. These experiences provide a varying learning environment for children, and support the transition from Preschool to School.
Learning
The Early Years Learning Framework is the curriculum delivered and is based on the following learning outcomes:
Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity
Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world
Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners
Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators
A Quality Improvement Plan is created in Preschool to ensure that our site is continually working towards goals that promote children’s learning.
