It is essential that they ask challenging questions, are taught to think critically, develop research skills proven to help them in higher education, are encouraged to be active in their communities and to take their learning beyond academic study. High-quality learning in the early years is essential to achieve these ambitious goals. At Moreton Bay Boys' College, opportunities to flourish are nurtured through carefully planned experiences where children inquire, problem solve and experiment.
DEVELOPING INQUIRING MINDS AT PRE-PREP
Pre-Prep is a stepping stone to Prep at either Moreton Bay Boys’ College or Moreton Bay College. While The Moreton Bay Colleges continue to be leaders in single-sex education from Prep to Year 12; a mixed-gender model for Pre-Prep is best practice for children aged 3 to 4.
Our Pre-Prep Programme is a full-time, co-educational, Queensland Government Approved Kindergarten Programme based at the Moreton Bay College campus. Students engage in a rich inquiry-based programme focussed on essential pre-literacy and pre-numeracy skills. They enjoy access to specialist teachers in Music, Physical Education, Visual Arts, and Library and have the option to attend additional activities such as swimming and dance.
Young children benefit from a range of teaching and learning styles and as such our educators are purposeful in the way they design and deliver the learning programme.
Throughout the Pre-Prep year, many opportunities prepare your child for the transition into Prep.
DISCOVER AND LEARN AT PREP
The Prep year at Moreton Bay Boys' College is an action-packed journey of learning, discovery and friendship.
We provide our students with a wide range of experiences and a stimulating and challenging environment in which to grow. Rotating through play-based, structured, and outdoor learning, our specialist Prep teachers develop physical, creative and technical skills in our young learners.
As an authorised International Baccalaureate (IB) World School offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Prep is the first year of the IB PYP. The PYP is the international framework used to deliver the Australian Curriculum, and enables students to benefit from a rich, global perspective to their learning.
