Step Into Prep 2021

Hello, 2022 Prep Families...

We are getting excited at the Springs about our upcoming Step into Prep transition sessions.  We have two sessions in the next few weeks. 

The first is on Friday the 3rd of December at 9:15am-10:30am. 

For this session, it would be great to see our students wearing their Step into Prep t-shirts! We also encourage students to bring a drink bottle labelled with their name. 

Our second transition day will be on Tuesday the 7th of December 9:15am-11:30am. 

During this session, your child will have a chance to tour the school seeing all the most important places (playgrounds, garden areas, drinking taps, the Gym, Library and of course the toilets so they are not nervous about finding these places when they start their first day). Students are encouraged to wear their Step into Prep t-shirts again for this transition.  As it is a longer session, students will need to bring some fruit, a labelled drink bottle and food for a short snack break. 

Keep your eyes out for an email with Webex details for the parent information session that will run from 10am on the 7th of December.

Hot Tips:

1. Practise having fruit, snack and lunch using their lunch box. This will help identify what to eat and when. It will also support their independence with opening and closing containers.
2. In the weeks leading up to the start of the 2022 school year, it is really helpful for students to practise packing and unpacking their school bags. Taking in and out their hats, lunchboxes and reader bags and having a go at zipping up their school bag on their own. 

If you have any questions please send them through an email.
