Prep students - Orientation Day Program
Prep students are invited to attend four transition days with our Prep Teachers to provide a straightforward transition into their new learning environment. Our Prep Teachers have organised play-based activities for each session and the details are outlined below.
Parents and students should attend all four sessions, along with the Parent Information Session.
Parents and guardians are warmly invited to assist in settling their child into our Prep classrooms. To help support your child's transition, we kindly ask that parents and guardians leave the classrooms by 9:30 am. This will allow us to begin our formal Prep transition session and ensure a smooth start for everyone.
