Transition

Child Parent CentrePrior to commencing school all children participate in our CPC to Reception transition programme. The transition programme operates to allow a smooth start in the Reception class. Transition programmes occur in the latter part of the child’s final term in the CPC. By spending time with the Reception class prior to starting school, the children settle in and become familiar with the new teacher routines, expectations and school environment. Information regarding this programme can be obtained from the CPC manager.

Parents of new enrolments are invited to the school for an informal meeting with the Principal and the reception teacher.  Parents are advised of the date and time by letter.
