We are looking forward to welcoming your child to St Joachim’s. I am happy to discuss any concerns or answer any questions you may have around your child starting school in 2026.
We are excited that we will be able to provide four opportunities for your child to come onsite as part of their transition to school.
Transition sessions will run for 1 hour. The children are not required to bring anything. They will be visiting the Foundation classroom where they will engage in some fun hands-on activities, listen to stories and play games to get to know each other and their teachers.
Children do not need to wear their school uniform on the transition days, however, they can if they wish.
Note that we have endeavoured to keep the children with familiar faces from preschool. If you suspect that your child will find it difficult to separate from you please do not hesitate to email me: istewart@sjcarrimdowns.catholic.edu.au or call on 9785 2633.
