St John offers transition to kindergarten program

St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School is offering a transition program for children entering kindergarten next year.

"We are excited to be welcoming our 2022 Kinder children to our Kinder Yana Transition Program," said principal Ms Nicole Davies.

"This program comprises of six sessions which run from 9.30am to 11am for both the children and their parents.

"Due to the current lockdown, we have postponed the first three sessions, which normally occur in Term 3 until Term 4.

"These sessions are followed up by one final meeting at night with parents only.'

This night provides details of the first weeks of starting Kinder.

"Throughout the transition program we aim to have the students, and their parents, feel comfortable in the school by getting to know one another, the teachers and the school site.

"The teachers get to know the children and their strengths and challenges, ready for when they begin school.

"Our Yana Transition Program is designed to be engaging and creative.

"The Kinder teachers set up a range of activities to enhance the children's receptive and expressive language skills; fine and gross motor skills along with social skills."

Anyone interested in enrolling a child for 2022 should call the school on 4341 0884 or email sjbww@dbb.catholic.edu.au for a personal tour of the school with Ms Davies. SOURCE: Website, 1 Sep 2021 Nicole Davies, St John the Baptist Primary School
