Transition to School

We warmly invite you to our“Transition to School” programme which runs each Friday afternoon at 2.00pm.  The aim is to develop the home/school partnership during this informative afternoon at Riverina School.

Starting school is a significant event in your family life, both for you and your child. It is an exciting time but there can also be uncertainties and concerns, especially if it is your first child. Developing strong relationships between home and school is crucial in establishing a good foundation for your child's journey through school. A Transition to School programme can assist in achieving a positive start to school.

While our Transition to School programme is primarily intended to help parents understand the learning that takes place socially and academically at school, particularly in the important early years, there is much to be learned from parents about what children already know when they enter school.

The Transition to School session will be an opportunity to see how we teach, Reading, Writing and Maths. there will be time to discuss how families can help prepare children at home and also give you the opportunity to ask any questions, or address any queries you may have.This term we will run two sessions with the same format, focusing on an area of the school curriculum. Hopefully this will mean you can attend one these sessions
