Transition Tips for Families

You may be thinking about a transition from preschool to kindergarten, from primary to high school, from one year to another in the same school, or from one school to another midway through primary or high school. 

Transitions happen for all of us across each day, week, and month. 

For children at school, key transitions include:

• from home to school and back home
• into school and the classroom
• between classrooms and teachers
• outdoor play/break times
• across the school, for example, to the library, bathroom, and canteen.

We know routines and planning are key to always supporting children. This is especially true at times of change and transition.

Bullying! No Way Grant

Last term, we advised that Modbury School P-6 was awarded a “Bullying. No Way!” grant. Thanks to Mrs Flavel’s excellent efforts in securing this funding, we were able to arrange an engaging Sammy D Foundation presentation for our upper primary students. The presentation provided important lessons around bullying prevention, respect, and resilience, empowering our students with practical strategies to stand up to bullying.

In addition, the grant allowed us to purchase brand new sandpit toys, which will bring joy to many children during playtimes.
