2021 Prep Transition Information

NEW GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES RE PREP 2021 TRANSITION

On-site school visits by children enrolled in 2021 Foundation Year – Term 4 2020

This decision enables a small group (of no more than 10 in total) of incoming children, their parents and/or early childhood educators to visit with one Foundation teacher in schools to support the transition of children into Prep in 2021. Schools will only be allowed to have one small group visit the school at any one time (i.e. there may not be multiple groups of 10 visiting the school at the same time). This is an exception and does not change other advice on limiting visitors under the Second Step of the Roadmap for Reopening. 

Requirements to support these visits:

·         Children attending the transition activities must be enrolled in the school

·         No intermixing with other children at the school is permitted as part of the visit

·         Schools to follow standard practices for recording information of all visitors 

·         The 10 visitors to a school must remain in a designated area assigned for the transition activity

·         Strict physical distancing should be observed 

·         Face masks to be worn by all adults

·         Cleaning of all areas used for the transition activity, including high touch points, toilets, etc. after each session

·         Regular hand hygiene

·         No food be offered or exchanged in the transition activities.
