Prep is the first year of
school and provides the foundation for your child's education. It is compulsory
for Queensland children to undertake Prep prior to Year 1. Prep is a full-time program in
primary schools and has a defined curriculum. Children must be 5 years old
by 30 June in the year they start Prep. To determine when your child can commence their prep year, use the prep ready reckoner calculator.
