Welcome from
Mrs Jessica Ford
Head of Junior School
“Our Pre-K program offers a seamless transition into the Junior School and lays a solid foundation for lifelong learning. It acknowledges every child as an individual and capable learner, encouraging independence and the development of confidence to approach new opportunities with curiosity and imagination.
With early skills in literacy, numeracy and more introduced, our 4-year-old program prepares our students for Kindergarten. This is why we recommend Pre-K as the start of a child’s journey with Illawarra Grammar.
I look forward to welcoming your little ones into our early-learning space.”
