Transitioning to School in 2024

This section is relevant for families who have children attending Foundation in 2024.

Our Blue and Orange Teams will continue to be offered a variety of school experiences this term in preparation for their arrival at school in 2024. It is wonderful hearing the confidence of the children as they share about their hopes for next year. Some children have shared their excitement in connecting with old Curiosity friends, ordering a lunch order, playing on the playground everyday and seeing their big brothers or sisters. How exciting indeed!

It is important for families to refer to the Transition Booklet that was sent to families regarding information about the upcoming transition visits, uniforms and starting dates.

A little reminder:

Transition dates: Thursday 23 November, Thursday 30 November & Monday 11 December from 8:40 - 10:30am for the first two visits and then 9 - 10:30am on the final one.

Morning Program is not available on these dates at Curiosity, and families are required to drop their child off and collect them on the day from school. Once the transition visit is over, families are required to sign their child in at Curiosity please.

Children are asked to wear the Curiosity uniform and bring along a hat, drink bottle and healthy snack.

Transitioning to Imagination (OSHC) in 2024

This section is relevant for families who have children attending Foundation in 2024 and accessing Imagination in early January.

If your child currently attends our Afternoon Program, we would like to offer them the opportunity to experience Imagination this term. On the following dates, the school aged children will be cared for at Imagination by Miss Nicola and Miss Alysha. Both these educators are well known by the children and will remain with them until you collect them.

The children will experience what it feels like to walk to OSHC, find a place for their bag, sign in with an educator, locate the bathrooms and play areas and enjoy afternoon tea. These experiences will offer familiarity to the children and give time for the building of relationships with the educators and other children at the Service.

Dates of Imagination Visits: November 20, 24, 29 & December 5 and 7. If your child is not currently accessing our Afternoon Care program but will be going to Imagination in 2024, please speak with Jacqui to book in a session if you feel this would be valuable for your child.

If you have a child at Imagination and Curiosity, you will need to manage your afternoon to ensure that you are collecting both children before 6pm please.

In our next iNewsletter, the Imagination Team will send you a little introduction. Please note that you will be able to action an Imagination account before the end of 2023 and book your child in for the Holiday Program which will commence on January 8. the OSHC Directors, Ms Ali Flynn will send information shortly about this process.
