At Colac West, our Prep–2 Classroom celebrates the vital foundation of early education in fostering academic, social, and emotional success.

We create a nurturing community of learners supported by evidence based teaching practices that build the skills and knowledge needed to thrive throughout their schooling journey.

We meet each student at their point of need, providing the support, tools, and resources necessary to help them achieve their learning goals. We recognise the powerful link between self-esteem and learning, and we intentionally cultivate confidence, curiosity, and resilience in every child.

Our mission in Prep–2 is to foster a positive, inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued, capable, and inspired to take on new challenges and experience success.

In Prep-Year 2 students engage in a systematic synthetic phonics approach, which is Phonics Plus.
