It was wonderful to see our new Preps (Foundation Year) and their families visit for their first transition session recently.

Our Community Liaison Officer, Mel McLennan, also gave a presentation on school readiness to the parents who attended and the parents took part in some fun get-to-know-you activities. The transition program’s aim is to allow the students to acclimatise to their new surroundings, teachers and classmates and participate in the type of activities that they will be involved in during their first year at school. When the excited children start on January 28 they should be very familiar with their new environment.
