School Visits
To help children feel confident and settled before their first day, we invite all enrolled preschool children to arrange a visit to their classroom. Visits are organised at the school office and are on Wednesday mornings during the two weeks before they start school. These visits provide an opportunity to meet their teacher, become familiar with the classroom, make new friends, and begin their transition to school in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
