From the Head of School...
Welcome to the website of The Toowoomba Preparatory School. I encourage you explore the various pages to discover for yourselves, what our students, parents and teachers already know; that Prep is a centre of excellence, in so many ways.
As Australia's largest coeducational boarding school for primary aged students, Prep specialises in providing a caring home-away-from home environment for our boarding students. Read the Boarding pages for information about our five Boarding Houses, each of which operates as a family-like community.
The links to Curriculum, The Arts and Sport will provide you with a snap-shot of the dynamic learning experiences our students enjoy. You will read about the rigorous and exciting academic programs, the enormous number of sporting opportunities and the outstanding Arts program.
As an Anglican School, Toowoomba Prep bases its distinctive pastoral care on Christian values and strong ethics. Nurturing students is one of our primary goals and we aim to foster within our children, the desire to explore their spirituality and understand their uniqueness.
Reading through the website, you will begin to see how challenge, discovery and achievement are at the heart of a Prep education and you will understand that children are given the best possible start to their process of life-long learning.
Exploring a website is beneficial but to gain a real sense of the Prep community, to observe the harmony in the boarding houses and to understand why our students love coming to school, I invite you to visit us and tour our campus. In this way you will capture the true essence of Prep.
