Prep at Mary MacKillop

The Early Years sets the foundation for children to become lifelong learners.  At Mary MacKillop Catholic College we facilitate the development of the whole child.  This encompasses the spiritual, social, emotional, physical, and academic growth of all children with the aim of each individual reaching their learning potential. 

Parents are the first educators of their children and as such are the primary educators, and we believe that parents play a significant role in developing traits of lifelong learners.  This includes developing independence and confidence both at home and at school. 

To learn more about your child commencing Prep, including our Early Years Philosophy, Pedagogy, Key Learning Areas and Wellbeing, take a look through our interactive Prep Handbook.
