Starting Prep is one of the biggest moments in your child’s life, and we want it to be everything you’ve hoped for. At St Paul’s, Prep is the beginning of a nurturing journey that can carry your child all the way through to Year 12, in partnership with Grace Lutheran College Caboolture. It’s more than just a place to learn; it’s a connected, caring community where staff and parents work side by side to support every child’s growth.
Our purpose-built Prep facility has been thoughtfully designed with early learners in mind. Three vibrant classrooms and a semi-separate outdoor space gently ease children into the rhythms of school life, while keeping them closely connected to the wider St Paul’s community. Each room is supported by both a dedicated Teacher and a Learning Assistant, so that every child is truly seen and heard.
We know the lead-up to Prep can feel just as big for parents as it does for children! That’s why, in the year before your child begins, we invite them along to our Come and Play sessions. These relaxed, fun visits give your child the chance to explore the Prep environment, meet some friendly faces and start feeling at home at St Paul’s, long before their first official day.
For parents, we host a dedicated Prep Information Night where you can meet the Prep team, hear about what the year ahead looks like and ask all the questions on your mind. It’s a wonderful evening and a great way to feel confident and prepared as a family.
From their very first day, Prep students enjoy a full and exciting curriculum. Specialist subjects including Health and Physical Education, The Arts, Music and Japanese are woven into each week, alongside the Read Write Inc. literacy program and Number Talks for numeracy – building strong foundations in ways that are engaging and fun.
A unique Gross Motor Skills program, designed specifically for Prep, supports physical development through active movement, while weekly library visits and Friday Worship sessions round out a balanced and enriching school experience.
At St Paul’s, we know that starting school is about so much more than academics. Our Prep team is dedicated to nurturing emotional resilience, social confidence and a genuine love of learning in every child. We want your little one to arrive curious and leave each day feeling capable, connected and excited to come back tomorrow.
It’s a strong foundation – and the beginning of something wonderful.
