Blossom Into Prep

To support our 2024 Prep children make a smooth transition into school we will be offering a number of transition sessions during term 2 and 3 for children to become familiar with our school setting before our formal transition sessions commence in term 4.

During term 2 interested families can register their children to attend different sessions to experience the school and our learning spaces. In term 3 enrolled children will be encouraged to attend a number of school readiness sessions where they will participate in activities designed to prepare them for the transition to school.

We encourage parents to tour the school and attend our school information evening and other school events open to the public so that you can experience all our school has to offer.
