At Redlynch State College we recognise the importance of each child's unique qualities. The Prep year provides continuity between the children's prior experiences, their kindy experience and their future learning.
In Prep we provide balanced, stimulating and challenging programs using age appropriate approaches to learning foundation skills in literacy and numeracy in a secure and supportive environment.
