COMMENCEMENT PROCEDURES - PREP

FIRST DAY

Prep students will commence school in 2025 on Thursday 30th January starting at 8:55am, finishing at 1:00pm*.   

Only lunch to be brought to school on this first day.  Prep children will not attend school on Wednesdays for the subsequent four weeks in order to facilitate their adjustment to school life and complete testing requirements.

REST DAYS

No Wednesday attendance 5th, 12th & 19th & 26th February 2025. 

On these Wednesdays in February your child will be scheduled to attend an appointment (once off, not each week) for Literacy and Numeracy screening with the teachers.

Whilst most children adjust very readily to school routines and are reluctant to miss classes, it is possible that some children may become tired and require a rest at home, particularly during warmer days. If this is necessary, parents are asked to advise teachers in writing that they will be keeping their child at home or collecting them early.

To avoid over tiredness, Prep children are gradually introduced to full-time schooling.

From Monday 3rd March onwards, Preps will commence 5 days per week – from 8:55am TO 3:30pm
