About this event

We know that the transition from Kindy into Prep is a BIG part of a families life.

These 'Experience' BIG School Play sessions are short and sharp in timing but are a wonderful way for families, particularly your little person to get familiar with the school environment (the noise, the size, the smells, the feelings) and start building those important connections.

These connections build a btter understanding for children and also allows them to socialise with future peers and staff members.

We have 8 'Experience' BIG School play sessions organised for families throughout 2024, along with a range of other events before our 'Orientation' Days in Term 4. Details below and on our website.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to remain with my child for this play session?

Yes! These sessions are with our parents & carers. This ensures that we are building a positive connection to school with both you and your child. Having a safe person with them, will make these sessions far more beneficial. Make sure you pack your energy.

Does my child start Prep in 2025?

All children born between 1 July 2019 and 30 June 2020 are eligible (and encouraged) to start Prep in 2025.

Are we allowed to come and visit the school?

Absolutely! We have a wide range of opportunities for families starting in Prep to attend our school to build those connections. From play days, to 'Experience' days, to school events and 'Orientation' Days. We also have 'Kindy Connect' Sessions we run in partnership with our local Kindy Programs.

What should I do if I (or my Kindy Program)believe that my child isn't ready for Prep in 2025?

We strongly encourage you to make contact with our school to discuss your concerns. Our experienced team, in partnership with your fabulous Kindy Team can work together with you to work out a solution that is best for your child and start working towards that BIG transition.

We are a little bit nervous about our child starting Prep. What can we do to feel better prepared?

This is a normal feeling, particularly for first time parents. We strongly encourage that you get organised and prepared as early as possible. Participate in a many 'Experience' and 'Orientation' Days as possible and start building those relationships and connections with our school and staff.
