At Thornlands we aim to offer our students MORE (Making Our Results Excellent) by focusing on building on the previous year's achievements. This acts as a platform for the next year and beyond. For a snapshot of some of the amazing work that happens at Thornlands, please click the below links.
Prep
Prep is an exciting time for you and your child. Prep is the first year of schooling and is a fulltime compulsory program, from Monday to Friday from 8.50am to 3.00pm.
The early years of learning are among the most significant periods of growth for children. Experiences during this time not only affect cognitive, social and physical development, but also deeply influence dispositions to learning and children’s views of themselves as learners.
At Thornlands State School the Australian Curriculum aligned Prep program is designed to cater for all children’s interests and needs and to foster a love of learning.

Year 1
In Year 1 we build on the foundations that the students acquired in Prep year while extending to future learning. This is an exciting year for Year 1 students as they learn the necessary skills to become competent readers and writers. Students develop skills and knowledge relating to simple mathematical concepts such as counting, addition, subtraction, measurement, patterning and graphing. Students participate in weekly health and physical education (HPE), technology, arts, Geography and History, and science lessons that coincide with each term’s unit of work.
