All staff members hold a Suitability Card issued by the Commission for Children and Young People and a current Senior First Aid Certificate. CLASS SIZE/ AGE Each class is under the care and guidance of two staff members at all times. The number of students per class is limited to 24 in order to ensure an appropriate staff/child ratio. Details of the groups and staffing are displayed in the entrance of Pre-Preparatory. The children must be 4years old by the 30 June in the year of commencing Pre-Preparatory. PRE-PREPARATORY PHILOSOPHY School is a place where knowledge and values are transmitted and constructed and therefore a place where culture is developed. As education is closely linked with the concept of values, our philosophy is one whereby we seek to educate the intrinsic values of each individual and culture, in order to make them extrinsic, visible, conscious, and shareable. Belonging - In the Pre-Preparatory year the School aims to provide a secure, stimulating, caring, warm and friendly environment for young girls and their families. We believe that the relationships that are nurtured, developed and built on in the learning and caring environment of the individual rooms and the centre as a whole, provide our children with the opportunity to enhance their self-identity and their genuine sense of belonging. Being - An inquiry based pedagogy, is incorporated into the learning environment of the Pre-Preparatory as this philosophy and learning allows for the development of a curriculum that caters to the needs of developing and inquiring minds. Emphasis is placed on language and communication as the keys to acquiring knowledge about themselves, their learning and a sense of belonging to a wider, collaborative community.
