Welcome to Prep at Marshall Road State School. We are excited to share our amazing school with your family.
The early years of learning are among the most significant periods of growth for children. Experiences during this time not only affect cognitive, social and physical development, but also deeply influence dispositions to learning and children's values of themselves as learners.
At Marshall Road State School, the Prep program is designed to cater for each child's interests and needs and to foster a love of learning. We aim to set our future students up for success through a comprehensive "Get Set for Prep" transition program.
