PRE-ENROLMENT VISITS

We wish to make your child’s transition to school as easy as possible for you and your child.  Four year olds will be able to visit school on Friday mornings for 3 weeks just prior to their birthday. This time will be gradually extended over the 4 weeks.

Week 1       9.00-10.35am

Week 2       9.00-11.50am (includes morning tea/playtime)

Week 3       9.00-12.50pm (full morning)

We do welcome and invite you to stay with your child during the first visit. This gives you the opportunity to help your child settle into school routine such as toilets, bell times, play lunch etc. If you wish, for the last 2 visits, you may bring your child to class and then leave – picking them up at 11.50 or 12.50pm.

During these 3 visits, you will have many opportunities to meet with the Principal, teachers and support staff and to ask any question.

On one of those visits please come to the office with the child’s birth certificate and immunisation certificate to complete the formal enrolment. The enrolment is carried out first by the Administration Manager and then parents and child meet the Principal.

STARTING SCHOOL

Your child can start school on his/her 5th birthday. Arrive at school on the first day at 8.30 a.m. If not already done so, enrolment details will be finalised. You and your child will then be shown to the classroom to meet the teacher and the other children.

CURRICULUM

Our New Entrant classrooms provide a rich language based programme as well as a strong focus on maths. Throughout the Junior School our main priority is for literacy and numeracy. We balance this with music, art, fitness and physical education programmes.

A visit through our Junior classes will demonstrate to you the creative and caring environment we provide. We make every effort to make our school a safe and happy place for your child to be and give lots of praise and positive reinforcement.
