St Benedicts Junior Preparatory School Pre-School is located in Bedfordview. St Benedict's is a Catholic school that provides a strong values-based education. The attitudes and values we teach may be "old-fashioned or conservative" for some and we are not always "politically-correct" because we do not yield to the pressures of social trends.
As a Catholic school we are founded on a Christian anthropology, imbued with a Catholic worldview and inspired by a supernatural vision. We are animated by communion and community and place a high regard on collaboration and the building of rich, meaningful personal relationships. As we encourage our boys to search for wisdom and truth, we encourage them to maintain a positive view of life.
Christian formation through the fostering of gospel values is one of our fundamental purposes. We achieve this by providing our boys with a safe and nurturing emotional and spiritual environment. We align our vision through a number of school specific frameworks and programmes, including Habits of Heart and Mind and the Beatitudes.
Grade R is the key foundation year where your son will acquire the essential skills to prepare him for the formal learning environment of Grade 1. It is here that your son will gain confidence in a secure, happy and stimulating environment and foster a love of learning. He will enjoy a year filled with fun, friendship and discovery in a boy-friendly environment, setting the path for him to become a competent and compassionate young man and a life-long learner.
