The Mosman Preparatory School, officially the Mosman Church of England Preparatory School and commonly abbreviated as Mosman Prep, is a dual-campus independent Anglican single-sex primary day school for boys, located on the Lower North Shore and the Northern Beaches of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. [1] The school was established in 1904 and is based on the UK preparatory school system.
The school provides a religious and general education to boys from Year K to Year 6 across two campuses, located in Mosman and in Terrey Hills.
Mosman Preparatory School was founded in 1904 by A. H. "Tibby" Yarnold, who aimed to create a school to which parents could "confidently send their boys". The school started with 26 boys with ages ranging from 9–14 and numbers grew but then dropped during the Great Depression, after which numbers steadily started to rise once more. There are now more than 300 boys attending the school, with the range of years being from Kindergarten to Year 6. The school opened its outdoor educational campus in Terry Hills. Nowadays the school aims to provide a social and sporting as well as academic education. [2]
The school's three houses were named after three previous headmasters of the school. Houses were introduced to the school in Mr. Begbie's time as headmaster.
The School has two campuses, the main school in the suburb of Mosman and its outdoor educational campus located in Terrey Hills, it was designed to teach students about the outdoors, to have a change in the learning environment from in a classroom to an open area and to be used as a sporting facility for weekend sport and training.
