The Preparatory Year
What is Prep? PDF Print E-mail

Queensland's Preparatory Year gives all young Queenslanders the very best start to school by helping them make a smooth transition to Year 1 and sets them on the path to lifelong learning.

Prep is not compulsory and early childhood education and care providers continue to offer programs for children not enrolled in a Prep class.

Prep at Chancellor PDF Print E-mail

ImageOur vision at Chancellor for Prep is to empower early learners to develop a passion for learning.

At Chancellor College these years of schooling offer a transition phase to the Primary years of education in our P-12 learning community. The Preparatory year is a non-compulsory year of schooling. Year One is a compulsory year of schooling and students continue the learning journey begun in the Preparatory year.

Children come to our school with a diversity of understandings, capabilities and dispositions that have developed as part of their social and cultural experiences since birth. These provide a rich and valuable starting point for learning in school.

Teachers support learning by linking the knowledge valued at home and the knowledge valued at school.  Learning experiences encourage children to make links between their prior knowledge and new learning.

Families and carers make significant contributions to children’s learning and development before and after children enter the preparatory setting. Chancellor Staff look forward to building partnerships with families to develop a learning environment to make this learning transition smooth and successful.
