Welcome to St Benedict’s Junior Preparatory School and an insight into the life and vibrancy that is the Junior Preparatory School. Within a four class structure per grade, where the maximum class size is 25, the Junior Preparatory school caters for boys from Grade 0 to 3. Often referred to as the ‘happy years’ by psychologists, the Junior Preparatory school creates a place of learning, involvement and participation in an environment that is secure and where each boys is provided with every opportunity is truly reach his full potential.

Based on spiritual values and gospel principles, St Benedict’s truly offers a genuine holistic education, and with a healthy balance between academic, sport and cultural activities, there is a niche for every boy. One just has to walk along a corridor, watch the boys at play or be seated at a Junior Preparatory School concert to sense the energy and tangible joy that characterises the Junior Preparatory School.

A summary of our vision is most accurately described as:
“The Junior Preparatory School aims to promote and the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, social and creative development of each boy.”

With my very best wishes,

Graeme Edwards
Headmaster
