Booking a school tour
We recommend booking a school tour before enrolling your child. A tour provides you with the opportunity to ask any questions you have and gives your child an opportunity to become familiar with our school.
Please ensure you arrange a tour well before your child is due to start (when possible!).
You can book a tour by calling our school office on (03) 54722180.
Your child can start Prep at the beginning of the year if they turn 5 on or before April 30th that year.
All children are different and progress at different rates. If you have any concerns about whether your child is ready to start school, we encourage you to first speak with your child's preschool teacher and health care professionals. We will also be happy to chat about any concerns you may have.
For more information on how to enrol your child in a Victorian government school please visit the Starting School page on the Vic Gov website.
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.
Parent Information Session
An evening for prospective prep parents to find out about the first year of schooling at Campbells Creek Primary School (including Guildford Campus). Here you will have an opportunity to ask any questions you have about the school or the curriculum.
To register your interest in this session, please phone our office for more information.
