Prep Transition Program
Our Prep Transition Program consists of a number of events held within our school and community. These include a meet and greet morning tea, a fun play afternoon tea, visits to our local kindys and Principal Tours.
Step into Prep Program (Prep Prestart) — Consists of a 4 week program. These four (one hour) sessions provide a chance for our new Preppies to obtain confidence through a positive experience about 'big school'. They also provide parents an opportunity to interact with others and have some fun. Our future students can wear their uniform if they wish with lots of happy photo opportunities.
Flying Start Interview — These interviews will take place with your Prep student, yourself and one of our dedicated staff members. Individual appointment times can be made for the interviews. This is an extremely important part of our enrolment process to ensure the best start for your little one. Please bring your Kindy Transition Statements with you if available.
Your attendance at the above events will have an enormously positive impact for the start of your little person in 2025. We hope you can make yourself available for all of our transition opportunities.
