Kindergarten Transition Program
Our Transition to school program involves children attending school one morning per week for four weeks in Term 4. This time allows the children to get used to the formality and routine of school.
While the children are in the Kindergarten room, parents attend the transition workshops. This enables them to become familiar with the school surroundings and to meet staff and other parents.
