Your child's exciting school journey starts here!
Starting Prep is a special milestone for children and their families. At Ferny Hills State School, we are passionate about creating a happy, welcoming and supportive environment where every child feels safe, valued and excited to learn.
Our enthusiastic and dedicated teachers provide engaging, hands-on learning experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity and a love of learning. Through a balance of play-based learning, explicit teaching and purposeful activities, we cater for each child's individual needs, interests and abilities, helping every child develop the skills and confidence to thrive.
Learning, playing and growing together
Prep is all about building strong foundations for a successful and enjoyable school journey. Throughout the year, children are supported to develop:
- Confidence and independence
- A love of learning
- Early literacy and numeracy
- Friendships and social skills
- Thinking and problem-solving
- Physical development
We believe every child deserves to feel a sense of belonging and experience success. Our supportive teachers work closely with children and families to make the transition to school a positive and memorable experience.
