Prep at Oxley

At Oxley, we understand that starting school is a major milestone not just for children, but also for parents. Our Prep Program aims to nurture your child's development. We provide a caring, supportive environment based on Christian values.

Curriculum

At Oxley Christian College, we focus on students' holistic growth. Our Prep Program covers:

  • Literacy: We teach phonics in a way that's engaging and fun. We have tailored our reading, writing, and speaking programs to help each student thrive. We focus on providing students with all they need to succeed.
  • Numeracy: Students learn about numbers, measurement, and statistics. They use hands-on materials to help them better understand concepts.
  • Specialist Subjects: We believe that every child is created in God's image. Our integrated learning approach helps students find their unique talents and interests. From Prep, students explore various specialist subjects.

Transition

Step Into Prep

Starting school is a big step for every child, so students begin their transition program in Term 3 and 4 of the previous year. Our Step into Prep program eases the shift from kindergarten to a primary school. It introduces students to their new environment, classrooms, and teachers. Moreover, it helps children make friends with future classmates. They also meet their specialist teachers through fun games, engaging crafts, and other activities.

For Parents

Prep Information Evening

Our Prep Information Evening, for currently enrolled students, is an essential event for parents. We aim to help parents support their child's move to a primary school setting. It also provides an opportunity to meet teachers, connect with other families, and build relationships. Parents can ask questions and seek support or clarification on any concerns.
