Transition Support 

At SMPS we start preparing children for change early, so they feel well-supported to make the transition to their next year of schooling. 

Part of this support includes providing some children with Social Stories so they feel familiar with the new changes. 

Find more information about Social Stories here: https://carolgraysocialstories.com/social-stories/what-is-it/

It can help children to feel in control of change when they know what to expect. Find some of the pages of our SMPS Transition Social Story below. 

Tuning Into Kids 

We have had excellent feedback on the Tuning into Kids Program from some of our families. Tuning in to Kids® helps parents and carers learn emotion coaching skills. Tuning in to our children improves communication, builds stronger relationships and helps manage challenging behaviour.

Note that this program is not connected with South Melbourne Primary School.
