Wahroonga Prep is a co-educational campus of Knox Grammar School which caters for children from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6.

Located adjacent to Wahroonga Park, Wahroonga Prep is a co-educational school for girls and boys from Pre-K to Year 6. Our educational philosophy is based upon the principles of the Reggio Emilia philosophy. Developed in Italy by Loris Malaguzzi, the Reggio Emilia philosophy values each child as a strong, capable and resilient learner, with wonder and a passion for learning. At Wahroonga Prep, our girls and boys are encouraged to challenge themselves and explore topics of interest to them through inquiry-based learning. We use a constructivist approach, developing strong general knowledge to build deep conceptual understanding.

Thank you to our families for the time, creativity and enthusiasm that went into creating such fantastic costumes.

LANGUAGES // In our Pre‑Kindergarten French lessons, students have been delighting in the discovery of facial features while building their early vocabulary. Drawing inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, the students explored this iconic artwork as part of their intercultural learning. With great enthusiasm, they identified and labelled the eyes, nose and mouth, before creating their own interpretations and practising the French words aloud with their teacher.
