​Enrol for Prep

​​​​​​​​​​​

Is your child born between 1st July 2019 and 30th June 2020?

Now is the time to enrol for Prep 2025!

What is ​Prep?

Prep is a full-time compulsory first school year for all children to attend from Monday to Friday. At Logan Village State School the school day is from 8:50am to 3:00pm. It is available to children who turn 5 by 30 June in the year they enrol in Prep.

Regular attendance is important to ensure children get the most from the program.

Early entry into Prep

Students born in July can make application for Early Entry into Prep. Please contact
the office for details about the application process.

The Prep Program

The Prep program is designed to cater for each child’s interest and needs as well as
fostering the development of abilities, attitudes and skills that will assist the child’s
educational development.

In Prep the children are encouraged to:

• express themselves and communicate with others.
• form basic concepts that help them understand their worlds.
• develop self-confidence.
• make new friends.
• share and co-operate with others.
• develop physical skills.
• develop a positive attitude to learning.
• participate in reading, writing and mathematical activities.
• be responsible for themselves and their belongings.
• be responsible for his/ her own behaviour and make sensible choices.
• relate to other adults.

These areas will be developed through play experiences, discussions, stories, drama, role play, music and dance, and by having access to educational resources.

Tranisition to school

Starting school is an important milestone in a child's life.

Supporting children to successfully transition to school, helps to foster their
enthusiasm for lifelong learning. A child's transition to school experience starts well before, and extends far beyond, their first day. By working together, early childhood services, schools, families and relevant community organisations can help children enjoy a positive start to school.

Pre-Prep screener​

In preparation for prep next year, newly enrolled prep students will be assessed by a prep teacher or guidance officer at their enrolment interview (dates to be advised; likely early in Term Four).

The assessment results will be used to inform parents of their child’s prep readiness prior to commencement and guide future educational planning.

The assessment allows teachers to quickly and accurately identify potential learning delays, giftedness and strengths and weaknesses in language, fine and gross motor, self-help, social-emotional and cognitive skills. The Pre Prep screener takes only 15 minutes per child.
