As a parent of a future Prep (Foundation) student, we understand that the process of selecting your child’s future school and their transition into this new phase of their life can sometimes seem overwhelming. Starting school is an important milestone in any child and family's life, and we understand that transition to school requires additional thought, time, planning and support to make the process as smooth and as positive as possible.

Joey Days

Prep transition sessions begin in October for the following year. Those who have enrolled and been accepted before the end of Semester One, or are trying to make up their mind, are able to book into and attend our additional “Joey Days”.  These sessions provide a taste of what the school has to offer and typically include one of more areas of learning, for example, sport, music, science, technology, literacy or fun math sessions.

Transition Sessions

Our Foundation teachers also run transition sessions in preparation for the new school year. Transition Sessions allow students to become familiar with some of the routines of school and meet our wonderful teachers. They might even meet a new friend! Children participate in a variety of activities that reflect a typical day at school including prayer, roll call, story reading, mat activities, singing, maths or art.

During the Transition period, we also offer a number of Information Sessions for parents to learn more about the school, curriculum, daily routines, and how you can help at home.
