Often there are many questions about the changes for children coming from Pre-School into “Big School” here at St Kevin’s. We recognise the wonderful start many of our students experience at Pre-School and work closely with each of the Early Learning Centres to support a smooth and seamless transition to school. 
Early Childhood is more than just a preparing for formal schooling, it is a special time in its own right and at St Kevin’s, we seek to build on this.
We support a philosophy of the Early Learning Framework which incorporates play-based learning for children when they first start school.
At St Kevin’s, we embed play in our Kindergarten classrooms to help students access the curriculum in an age appropriate manner. Lessons are taught based on current research and best practice. They are centred around the capabilities, needs and interests of the Early Learner to achieve success and flourish in their learning and wellbeing.
