Details for Parents for Transition Sessions:

From 9:30 am you will be invited into the Junior Building. Check the lists inside the hall to see which room your child will be in for that morning. (These are not their 2024 classes and the groups will change for both weeks to enable your child to work with different students and teachers)
Please say goodbye to your child as quickly as possible and make your way to the The Community Hub area (In our Gymnasium)
Both weeks, there will be opportunities for parents to chat with other future parents. A copy of a digital handbook will also be provided with all key Prep information outlining how you can support your child's transition to school.
Other important information to note:
Our 2024 Preps are welcome to wear casual clothes. All other resources will be provided on the day.
When arriving at Brighton Primary School, parents should observe the parking restrictions along the school boundary at Male and Wilson Streets
