At St Joseph's, children are viewed as capable learners who bring knowledge and experiences into the school setting. Their experiences affect their cognitive, social and physical development, as well as influencing dispositions to learning and their view of themselves as learners. These experiences form the basis upon which to build new learning.
Staff share with families, in a productive partnership, the common goal of education and care for each individual student in order to develop early educational relationships and lay the foundation for lifelong learning.
In Prep the students will be participating in a programme which is based on active learning and follows the guidelines approved by ACARA. The programme develops:
a positive approach to learning
independence and confidence
creativity
thinking and problem-solving skills
language skills
literacy and numeracy skills
physical abilities
All this will be within a flexible, learning environment that allows the children to explore and learn through
