Orientation/Transition Days

 

Orientation Days will be held for incoming Foundation students from Term 2 and through Term 3 and 4. These will be arranged in conjunction with local kindergartens and usually involve a series of half-day visits leading to full day visits.

 

Students in year 6 also have at least one Orientation Day at their secondary school. Teachers from the secondary schools visit the primary school students before Orientation day to introduce themselves, discuss issues, questions and concerns the student may have and to liaise with the primary school teachers. Parents will be invited to attend secondary school Orientation Evenings too.

 

 

Buddy Program

 

The Foundation children all have a buddy at school. Most children will have met their buddy during the kinder transition program. The older children take pride in being responsible for helping the younger children during the first year at school.  The program involves structured activities as well as helping each other during playtimes.
