Our Pre-Junior year group
Our Pre-Junior
At the age of 4, our students are introduced to the Pre Junior Class, which is a transitional year between the Flutterby Child Care years (2 and 3 year olds) and the Junior School (5 year old upwards).
This year is an important milestone in the educational journey of the child and at St. Catherine’s High School, we take this year very seriously. As such, in the Pre Junior year, we strive to offer an exciting and creative programme of activities which helps each child fulfil his/her potential and allows him/her to master the basic skills required of this age, namely:
– concentration skills;
– personal, social and emotional skills;
– creative and physical education development; and,
– a learning trajectory that is theme-based and through which literacy, numeracy, science & religion are taught.
Together with their Class Teacher, the students in the Pre Junior Level follow a programme of activities which is imbued with both fun-oriented learning adventures based on the principles and objectives outlined above.
School for the Pre-Junior students starts at 7:45am in the morning and ends at 1:30pm, after which the parents may opt for the Extra Curricular Activities proposed by the School (and which take place till 3:30pm).
Outings for the children are organised regularly and children also take part in School wide events such as the Annual Concert, Sports Day, Animal Awareness Day, Carnival and Christmas celebrations amongst others. These are much awaited occasions by both the parents and the students themselves who pride themselves in being able to take part in school wide events.
