Prep Transition

Dear Parents,

Making a choice of school for your child is an interesting journey….especially for your eldest child. Many of you who read this may have already made a choice. Congratulations! For some families, you may still not be 100% sure and it’s not too late to change your mind. Briar Hill Primary School is offering the opportunity to visit and have a look at what we offer.

A great place to start is to come on a school tour.  I truly believe that Briar Hill is the ‘lighthouse on the hill’ in the suburb of Greensborough,  for educating the whole child. If you choose our school your child will move onto Secondary School literate and numerate. They will also be well rounded citizens of our world. They will be happy to be ‘who they are’ and ready to play a role in the society that we live in. Happy to stand on their own two feet and be ready to face the challenges that we all face in life. They will also be curious about the world around them due to the unique programs that we offer. I would love to be given the opportunity to show you the school. Please call the school office to book a time to visit.

We look forward to seeing you soon at Briar Hill Primary School!

Prep Buddy Program
Our highly successful Prep Buddy program starts during the first few weeks of 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.
