Foundation Transition Program

Last week, we were thrilled to welcome many of our 2026 Foundation students for their very first transition session. It was a fantastic start, with lots of smiles, excitement, and curiosity from our newest learners.

It was also great to see so many families stay for today’s parent information sessions. Parents joined us for a guided tour of the school and received helpful information about our new Before and After School Care provider for next year, Kelly Club.

We also shared details about Academy Uniforms, tips for helping your child feel ‘school ready’, and the key apps we use to stay connected—Compass and Seesaw. Each child received a special book with a social story about our school, which families can read together to help build confidence and familiarity over the coming weeks.

A big thank you to all the parents who attended! Your involvement plays a huge role in helping your child feel supported and ready for school.

Just a reminder that transition sessions will continue each Thursday at the same time. If you have any questions or need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Enrolments for 2026 are still open! If you or someone you know is yet to enrol, please contact the office or visit our website for more information.

Ride Safe, Arrive Safe: A Reminder About Helmets 

As the warmer weather encourages more students to ride their bikes and scooters to school, we’d like to remind all families of an important safety rule: helmets must be worn when riding.

Wearing a helmet isn’t just a good idea—it’s the law in Victoria. According to VicRoads, all cyclists and scooter riders are legally required to wear an approved, properly fitted helmet. Helmets significantly reduce the risk of head injuries in the event of a fall or collision, making them a vital part of safe travel.

Here are a few quick tips to help ensure your child is riding safely:

• Check the fit: Helmets should sit snugly and level on the head, with the straps forming a "V" under the ears.
• Inspect regularly: Look for cracks or damage and replace helmets if they’ve been involved in a crash.
• Lead by example: Adults riding with children should also wear helmets to model safe behaviour.

We love seeing our students active and independent, and we want to make sure they’re safe while doing it. Thank you for helping us promote a culture of safety and responsibility in our school community.

Kind regards,

Joshua Fielding
