The first few weeks
The first few weeks
Students will be learning the school routines, expected behaviours and developing social skills as they make new friends at school. Kindergarten classes go on frequent walks around the school to familiarise themselves with their new environment and learn how to apply our school values of being respectful, responsible and to achieve. We slowly introduce them to the playground and routines such as using the canteen, going to the Library and eventually attending school assemblies. The first few weeks can be mentally and physically exhausting for the new students, therefore we tend to spend our afternoons focused on play based activities.

How to prepare your child for school
One of the biggest things that can help children settle into primary school is the ability to do some things independently. Prior to starting school we recommend practising skills such as:
Getting dressed in their uniform
Putting on and taking off their jumper
Putting on school shoes
Packing their school bag
Opening up their own lunch box, drink bottle and food containers
Carrying their own belongings
Recognising their own name on belongings
Putting on a raincoat or paint shirt
Toileting themselves
Communicating if they are upset or need something
Listening to a story
