Prep
Building the Foundation
Prep at Lighthouse recognises the importance of laying strong foundations and instilling a love for learning in a nurturing and engaging environment.
ACADEMICS
At Lighthouse, expert teachers provide children with the very best opportunities to develop individual strengths through a curriculum focusing on literacy, numeracy and positive social development from a Christian perspective.
In small sized classes, evidence-based teaching programs are used to ensure children are making appropriate progress in their learning.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH
Lighthouse offers a Christ-centered education with Biblical foundations woven through the curriculum. A love for God is nurtured through weekly Bible lessons, praise and worship and Chapel services.
SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The partnership between home and school is paramount throughout a child’s learning journey. At Lighthouse, we see this relationship as a high priority in setting up students for a successful journey through to Year 12 and beyond. This partnership begins in the term before commencement through our Prep4Prep Program.
The school’s “Buddy Program” sees Preps partnered with older students. This helps Lighthouse Preps to have an increased sense of belonging and community.
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT
Specialist teachers provide weekly Health and Physical Education (HPE) lessons that include a “Learn to Swim” program, Athletics and Swimming Carnivals and a Fun Run. Each day in Prep begins with a motor development program that enhances health and wellness.
