Transition
Depending on your child’s start date, in Term 2 or Term 4 your child will be invited to attend a number of transition visits. The purpose of transition is to ensure that children are comfortable and familiar with the new, larger, space as well as connect with other children starting Reception at the same time. The visits are also an opportunity for the Reception teachers to get to know the children and for families to connect and chat. Strong relationships between students, staff and families are important to us at Athelstone School and we look forward to welcoming you to our community.
In the process of transition from preschool to school a new enrolment form needs to be completed. When you enrol your child our school will provide you with information regarding curriculum and general school procedures. If your child has attended Preschool a copy of their Summative Report will also be forwarded to us.
