2023 Transition Events
Our 2023 transition events are detailed below, and will give you a flavour of the transition experience your child will experience in 2024.
More details will follow at the beginning of May 2024.
P1 Transition Teddy
We have previously had great success with presenting each of our new P1 children with a Transition Teddy by their identified Class Teacher so that the children have an opportunity to meet their class teacher in person before they begin the transition journey.
Once the class teachers and classes are finalised, your child will receive a letter from their teacher with a picture and some details about themselves. Details of how to switch from the Seesaw Transition class and connect to their new Seesaw class will also be included.
