In their first year of schooling, students are exposed to a variety of activities that aim to build independence, self confidence and emotional wellbeing. It is an important year where the students begin to develop relationships with peers and adults. In the classroom, students will learn to work cooperatively in groups, practising their social skills such as turn taking, listening to others and contributing to group discussions. They learn various skills to help them read, write and develop their sense of number. The students are given the opportunity to develop their understanding of belonging to Holy Eucharist school and the wider Catholic community. They learn to respectfully participate in prayer, meditation and school masses.
A special event for the Grade Prep students is the 100 days of Prep celebration where students dress up, participate in fun activities and have a BBQ lunch. In the second semester, students prepare for and participate in their first school excursion heading out into the community for the first time.Â
