The Prep readiness group is run across 4 weeks, 1 day per week. We typically run this group over the June-July school holidays and in November or December to help identify the areas that children need support with and address them prior to starting their first year of school the following year.  The group is targeted at helping your child be ready for prep by giving them the essential foundation skills needed. They will learn the foundational skills of how to make new friends, writing (through pre-writing shapes, letter awareness and pencil grasp), reading (through decoding words, identifying rhyming words and beginning/ending sounds of words and letters), how to sit and listen in the classroom, how to be independent during lunch breaks, cutting, colouring and pasting and socially appropriate behaviours within the school environment.
