At Karoo Primary we place a high priority on our Transition Program with our aim being to make the move from pre-school to primary school as smooth as possible. Children and parents are encouraged to participate in our Transition Program to explore the exciting and stimulating programs we offer.  Parents are invited to the library during Sessions 1-3 to learn about our programs and how to prepare your child for school, and to a Morning Tea and Second Hand Uniform Sale during Session 4.
