2024 Prep Transition Program

Mount View Primary School Prep Transition 2024

Welcome to Mount View Primary School. We are excited to have your family join our school community. We want to support your child to have a smooth transition to Mount View Primary School in 2024. It is important your child participates in the prep transition sessions.

A successful transition from early childhood learning settings to school is important for all children and has long-lasting benefits. Children who experience a positive transition into their new environment are likely to be happy at school and continue to improve their social and academic skills.

An effective and positive transition to school ensures that teachers know each child and family which ensures continuity of learning that meets the academic and wellbeing needs of all children.
