What Students Learn in the Foundation School Year

The ‘Foundation’ year has different names across Australia and refers to Pre-Primary (WA), Kindergarten (NSW/ACT), Preparatory (QLD/ VIC/ TAS), Reception (SA) and Transition (NT). 

The development of literacy in early childhood and into primary school serves as one of the most crucial foundations for a child’s life.

Being able to read, write, speak and listen gives a child invaluable social skills and confidence to become healthy and happy into adulthood. 

Literacy development in early years can significantly impact a child’s career and personal happiness, through to becoming a balanced adult with all the necessary skills to cope with daily life. 

The Foundation school year is one of the most important years of schooling. This is the year that students learn to read, spell and write.
