"Gentleman, Scholar, Sportsman."
The motto upon which our school is built
The motto 'Gentleman, Scholar, Sportsman', upon which Coogee Boys' Preparatory School is built, represents the school's goal of preparing boys to become independent, resourceful, caring individuals and contributing members of society.
As a boutique boys primary school, we aim to foster a sense of community where all boys know, and are able to interact with each other across all grades — from Kindergarten to Year Six. This approach creates a culture of inclusivity, enhanced self-esteem and diversity. The School endeavours to teach boys respect and responsibility for themselves, for others, for the School environment and for the wider community.
While the School finds a foundation in Christian principles, we are open to all families, irrespective of denomination or social background. The School has a non-selective admissions policy, which allows for boys with a wide range of abilities and talents to enter the school at any grade where there is availability.
The basic philosophy underpinning Coogee Prep is that all students are encouraged to adopt the traditional values of hard work, self-discipline and respect for others. The school motto 'Gentleman, Scholar, Sportsman' captures the essence of the all-round education Coogee Prep students receive.
