Enrolment Information

Starting school is an exciting time! Our aim is to provide Pre-Schoolers with positive school experiences through our transition program.

Prep Transition

Getting to know our school. Building friendships. Beginning with confidence.

Starting school is a milestone for the whole family. At Lower Plenty Primary School, our Prep Transition Program gives children opportunities to explore their new surroundings, meet their teachers and begin forming friendships before their first day.

Across four sessions, children experience classroom learning, specialist activities, time with their older buddies and a whole-school celebration. Each visit helps make school more familiar and welcoming.

Families are an important part of the process, with opportunities to meet staff, ask questions and learn about school life.

A Word From Our Parents

{

Lower Plenty has taught my son not only about academics but also so much about himself. The school model allows him to explore his thoughts and ideas– through both successes and failures – pushing him beyond his own preset boundaries. The teachers celebrate his successes and steadfastly stand by his side with support when it is needed. It’s a wonderful environment to grow in.
