Learning to read and fostering a life-long love for reading is our priority. This important skill enables the boys to confidently confront what lies ahead in their academic careers, and beyond.
A strong sense of community and care for the environment is also fostered at the Pre-Prep. The boys are made aware of the needs of the wider community and embark on various projects to support and assist those in need. The importance of preserving and caring for our environment for future generations is part of everyday life at the Pre-Prep.
