Kindergarten 2019

Leaving behind the familiar environment of pre-school

and starting school is an exciting time in every child’s

life. Our school has a comprehensive transition

program to support students and families throughout

this journey.

During Term 4 we have a series of important events to

ensure students are familiar and comfortable with the

school and that parents have as much information as

possible. As well as the events I have listed below, I am

available for families to come to the school for a

personal tour and information session. These sessions

can be booked through the school office on 6566 6208.
