At St Matthew’s School we see Prep as an integral part of our total school life. The Prep classroom offers an atmosphere of positive acceptance in which each child is valued as an individual with a unique way of learning and interacting. Catholic Christian values are fostered and influence all interactions. Prep students engage with the mandated ACARA Curriculum through developmentally appropriate activities and investigations.
As a Catholic school, we use the Brisbane Catholic Education Religion Curriculum P - 12 to guide opportunities for learning for Prep students in Religious Education.
The Prep classes are actively involved in all areas of school life. Our Prep area has been designed to ensure children can play, learn and grow in safety and with guidance.
