Transition Visits
Starting in Term 4, our current prep teachers will begin visiting our local kindergartens and child care centres to meet some of the children. These visits allow the children to become familiar with some of the faces they will see at our school, while being comfortable in their own environment. Our teachers may take this time to read stories to the children, or just engage in casual conversations while playing along side the children.
In November and December, we start on site transition visits here at the school. These transition visits range from between 1 to 2 hours over 4 weeks. During these sessions, our transitioning preps have the opportunity to play with their future classmates, complete fun and engaging activities they get to take home as well as meet their 5/6 buddy they will have next year.
At the end of their final visit, students will take home a small show bag with information about the school and what to expect for your first year of prep, as well as some activities that assist with school readiness.
