Prep Transition
Year-long activities are aimed at making the transition from pre-school to prep a smooth one for your child. During Term 3, the Transition Program will enable children to meet and work with each Specialist teacher at the school. In Term 4, enrolled children will spend time working with the Prep teachers in their classrooms. We have set aside some Wednesday and Thursday afternoon sessions each term to accommodate the various groups operating at our neighbouring kindergartens. Parent Information sessions will be held in Term 4 to familiarise parents with the day to day running of the school.
MUSIC: Music Room with Mrs Ferguson. Listen to your favourite songs.
ART: Art and Craft Room with Mrs Mann.
JAPANESE: With Mrs Miyagi.
PHYS ED: With Mr Kenez. Join in simple ball games and have fun together.
