School Starters Transition Program

At Doncaster Primary School, we aim to ensure a strong sense of connection. Prep Transition sessions are an important opportunity for your child to become familiar with their school environment, teachers and peers.

Parent Information Session

Prior to the first Transition Session, we will be hosting a Parent Information Evening on Thursday 15th October. This session is designed for parents/carers to develop an understanding of everything they need to know about the Transition program and preparing your child for school.

When: Thursday 15th October 2026

Where: Junior School Building

Time: 5pm
