2020 School Orientation Plans

Keep checking in as plans are being uploaded as they are received. Our region's schools are looking forward to meeting you.

Participate in your school's orientation
Orientation activities support you and your child's sense of belonging in the school community and successful transition into the Prep year.  Plans are carefully designed by schools in collaboration with children, parents and families, early years services and community partners. 
Remember - The Early Years Count
Does my child start kindy or school in  2020?
Born in blue, school is for you.
Born in red, it's kindy instead
​Print off the poster to the right ... 
It is easy to see if a child is of kindergarten age or school age. Simply place a finger on the date a child was born and if it is on a  blue dot, they are off to school and if it is on a red dot, it is a kindergarten year. 
Kindergarten transition statements may be shared directly with schools with the accompanying consent form signed by the child's parent or guardian.
