Transition Dates
Meet your teachers and see the classrooms you will be using.
The transition from childcare to primary school marks a significant milestone in a child’s educational journey, particularly during the Prep/Foundation year. At Glen Huntly Primary School, this transition is thoughtfully managed to ensure a smooth and positive experience for both children and their families.
Prep/Foundation programs at Glen Huntly Primary School focus on easing children into the structured learning environment while nurturing their curiosity and social development. Emphasis is placed on creating a supportive atmosphere where each child feels secure and encouraged to explore new experiences.
Parents play a crucial role in this transition process, with the school offering four orientation sessions and workshops to familiarize families with the school’s routines, policies, and resources. These sessions help alleviate any concerns parents may have and empower them to support their child’s adjustment to primary school life.
The school’s dedicated teaching staff understand the developmental needs of young children and employ age-appropriate teaching methods to foster a love for learning from the outset. Activities are designed to stimulate cognitive, emotional, and social growth, laying a strong foundation for future academic success.
By prioritizing a nurturing and inclusive environment during this critical transition period, Glen Huntly Primary School ensures that each child feels valued and supported as they embark on their educational journey.
