The First Few Weeks Of School

Starting school is an exciting time of change for children and families.

It is the beginning of new routines and experiences.As children transition to primary school, emotional and social maturity is an important part of their development and an indicator of how they will cope with the new rules, routines and expectations. In preparation for school, your child could benefit from practising:

  • Writing their name 
  • Opening packaged food snacks and containers
  • Deciding what to eat for lunch and recess
  • Using the toilet and washing their hands independently 

As we confirm dates of start times, Best Start assesments. Information will be added here. More to come shortly.

We thank you for your patience.
