Prep Buddy Program
Our highly successful Prep Buddy program starts during the Prep orientation program, (prior to starting school), and continues throughout the first year of school - and beyond.
 
This program gives the younger and older children a special bond of friendship, creating a safe environment for the younger children and a leadership role for the older children.

Prep Starting School - 2020 Dates 
Some important things to remember:

• Prep students do not attend school on Wednesdays, until the first week in March                

This is a rest day for Prep children as they become accustomed to school.  This also allows teachers to complete assessments of new students. 

• After this transition period, it is expected that all Prep children will attend school every day from 9.00am to 3.30pm.

School attendance is critical and it is important that children attend every day.
