Pre-Prep

​Woodcrest Transition Program

​​​Possums Playgroup 

Little Possums Playgroup is held on Friday mornings in the Primary School Precinct from 9:15am - 10:45am.

Each week we welcome children, ranging in age from birth to 4 years, along with their parent/s or carers. This is a great opportunity for all involved to make new friends listen to a story, sing songs, do some craft activities and share morning tea. As we continue to build strong ties with the community, we hope this program will provide parents with greater confidence and connection to our College, thus providing a smooth transition into formal schooling.​

Woodcrest Pre-Prep Program

At Woodcrest State College we recognise the importance of early learning and of smooth and settled transitions into formal schooling. To foster student readiness  for school, Woodcrest State College offers a series of Pre-Prep Transition programs for all children enrolling into Prep the following year. 

Purpose of the Pre-Prep Program:

• To provide an orientation and skill-based program to help prepare children for the Prep curriculum next year.
• To provide ideas and activities for parents to work on with their children at home to ensure they are Prep-ready and able to experience success in their Prep year.
  
• To foster interactions among children, parents and teachers and build relationships prior to the commencement of Prep next year.​

How does the Pre-Prep program work?

• A Parent/Guardian must attend with their children.
• Workshops for parents will be held in the Primary staffroom, while the children work with Prep teachers and Teacher Aides in our community/OSHC classroom.  During these parent sessions, we will share practical ideas and activities you can use with your child at home.​
