Prep Program at Federal State School
At Federal State School, our Prep F.O.C.U.S program supports children to build strong foundations for learning in a calm, nurturing and personalised environment.
With excellent adult-to-student ratios and a dedicated early years learning space, every child is supported to grow in confidence, develop essential skills and feel a strong sense of belonging from their very first year of school.
We understand that starting school is a significant milestone. Our small school setting allows us to provide individual attention, meaningful relationships and a gentle transition into formal learning.
Prep is the first year of school and provides the foundation for your child's education. It is compulsory for Queensland children to undertake Prep prior to Year 1. Prep is a full-time program in primary schools and has a defined curriculum. Children attend Monday to Friday, generally from 9am to 3pm.
Children must be 5 by 30 June in the year they enrol.
