2021 has brought many challenges, and transition to school has been impacted in several ways. In order to organise the class groupings, our usual face to face sessions allow our teachers to observe children and consider individual needs and dynamics. In 2021 this has not been possible. As such, our 2022 prep children will commence the year as a whole group, lead by a team of three prep teachers. Supported by our NCCD team, the prep children will work in small groups, and as a whole throughout the first few weeks of school, developing routines and getting to know one another. Once the teachers have had the opportunity to observe and work with your children, their grades will be finalised. Please be patient, as this may take a few weeks.

On Friday 19th November, all parents are asked to come to school to pick up a special welcome pack for your child between 9.30 and 2pm. In this pack you will find a number of resources to both welcome and support your child through their transition. Please note that there is no pressure to complete or use the resources, they are simply there should you like to use them.
