Pre-school Transition

The Pre-school Transition Sessions help prepare children for the move from pre-school to school. The program assists them in becoming familiar with the school environment and in developing a closer relationship with peers and the Prep teachers.

We do hope that your child will have the opportunity to take part in our transition sessions, the first of which is our Story Time on Wednesday 3 June.

Bookings are not required.
