At
Moranbah State School we recognise the importance of each child as unique in
their learning needs. The Prep Year provides continuity between the children’s
prior experiences and their future learning.
We pride ourselves in
providing all Prep students’ with opportunities to make decisions, solve
problems, develop thinking skills, collaborate, communicate and develop a positive
sense of self. Our well balanced
programs develop the skills, knowledge and understandings, reflected in the
principles of the Early Years Curriculum Guidelines and the Australian
Curriculum. Social and emotional resilience is also taught through
the ‘Play is the way’ program in the Health and Physical Education lessons for
our Prep students.
