What Will My Child Experience in Prep?

At Jubilee, Prep students are immersed in hands-on, meaningful learning experiences. They will:

  • Make choices about how and what they learn
  • Explore their interests through inquiry and investigation
  • Collaborate with teachers and peers in planning and learning
  • Engage in music, language, and dramatic play
  • Develop early literacy and numeracy through games, storytelling, drawing, and construction
  • Build physical skills through active play and movement

Religious Education in Prep

Our Religious Education program is grounded in the Brisbane Archdiocese’s Early Years Guidelines, offering age-appropriate opportunities for children to explore faith, prayer, and the teachings of Jesus in a way that is meaningful and relevant to their lives.

Family Involvement

We value the vital role families play in a child’s education. At Jubilee, we foster strong partnerships with parents and carers, encouraging involvement in classroom activities, celebrations, and learning experiences.

Inclusive Education

Children of all abilities are welcome in Prep. If your child has a disability, we will work closely with you to ensure the right supports are in place. In some cases, early intervention programs may be recommended. Please speak with the Principal to discuss your child’s needs.
