Prep Open Day and Information Session – Tuesday 25 June 2024 – 5.30pm
Students will be attending three transition sessions during November and early December.
These sessions provide your child with the invaluable opportunity to familiarise themselves with the school and learning environment in a supportive and positive way and to get to know each other. It also supports the teachers in getting to know your child and provide valuable information for consideration when placing students in home groups for the following year. Your children will also begin to build trust and relationships and we will learn more about your children’s needs and personalities.
