High School Transitions
Deputy Principal Update
Powering into Prep
Prep enrolments continue for 2025. If you have a child born between July 2019-June 2020 they are eligible to enrol for Prep for next year.
Don’t forget to attend our final PIP orientation session on Thursday from 9-10am. First Five Forever will be leading a fun morning of activities.
We are inviting our prospective Prep students to our Step-up afternoon on 6 December. Please check your email for updates.
Our Kindy visits will be finishing next week as we near the end of the school year. We appreciate the partnerships we have with our feeder Kindergartens to support successful transitions to school.
Behaviour focus
Our current behaviour focus, be safe and respectful, has a specific focus on helping, not harming, a situation. Demonstrating this behaviour supports students to stop, think and act, and consider the outcome of a situation. This focus provides an opportunity for families to discuss taking a moment to consider a response before reacting at home and at school and how demonstrating these behaviours helps to build trust and maintain friendships.
