Starting School

We understand that starting school is a big deal. We believe that it is vital that your child’s transition to school is well planned, well organised and well considered. We personalise the process for your family and do our very best to get to know your child before they start at school. This process includes:

  • A meeting with the Deputy Principal
  • A tour of the school
  • An induction to the school
  • School visits (if starting for the first time)
  • Partnering your child with a buddy mentor
  • Checking in with your child and your family

If you have a child starting New Entrant or you are interested in knowing about our philosophy on students education when starting school then check out the video below to see how our New Entrant program is run.

We ran a starting school workshop in April 2017. Here are some of the links to the resources that were shared that night.
