Cowan Cubs Pre Primary
Our children learn in small, nurturing, and creative classes to explore the freedom of our expansive, well equipped play areas. Added to this are the broader experiences offered by the “big school” – lessons in the computer lab, movement, singing and instruments in the Music and Drama departments, getting lost in story time in the Library and learning to coordinate movement in physical education and extra-curricular sports available on campus.
By the time our girls and boys are ready to move up to Grade 1, they are socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively ready and eager to face the Junior Primary phase of their education.
