Transition to Primary School
Starting school is a big step for children and families. Our school runs orientation and transition activities to help your child feel ready for Kindergarten and to support you as parents and carers.
Read the Getting ready for primary school guide for detailed tips and checklists.
Before your child starts Kindergarten
Enrolment Interview
Before your child begins, all families meet with our Principal, Assistant principal Curriculum & Instruction and Kindergarten teacher. This is a time to share:
- medical conditions or allergies
- learning support needs
- family circumstances that may affect your child’s start
We want every child to feel safe, supported and included in school life.
Kindergarten Orientation and Information Sessions
Kindergarten information sessions are held during Term 2. Sessions provide parents and carers opportunities to learn more about our school routines, the curriculum and talk to staff about school readiness.
Kindergarten orientation sessions are held in Term 4, typically over a 4-6 week period. Sessions are for 2 hours, typically in the morning and are conducted by our Kindergarten teacher and staff.
Our orientation sessions help children:
- meet teachers and classmates
- explore classrooms and playgrounds
- practise simple routines

What to expect in Kindergarten
Learning and development
Kindergarten follows the NSW curriculum. Children build early skills in literacy, numeracy, creative arts, health and physical activity, science and technology. Learning through play also supports social, emotional and academic growth.
Daily routines
Children learn routines such as morning arrival, snack and lunch breaks, lining up, using bubblers and moving safely around the school. Teachers guide children as they settle in, but practising at home helps.
Best Start Assessment
At the start of the year, all Kindergarten children take part in the Best Start Assessment. This is a friendly, one-on-one activity where teachers learn about your child’s literacy and numeracy skills. It is not a test and needs no preparation.
