Dear Parents of Preps 2023,
Welcome to our first Prep 2023 Newsletter. We will use this method of communication as our primary source of information dissemination - so keep your eyes open for these emails.
When you came in for your Prep Interviews with Fr Hayes and me, I remember saying, it will be a long time between now and the rest of the Prep transition program - but - it seems that time is upon us and it doesn't feel like very long ago at all.
If you need clarification on any of the items in this newsletter please just contact us.
God Bless, Francine
Parent Information Evening - Parents Only
Wednesday, 9th November 7.00pm -8.30pm
This information evening is designed to take you through a whole lot of factors that will help you support your child for the beginning of school. We traditionally cover 'A day in the life of the school' along with elements of the curriculum like how to support your child with reading and early numeracy concepts.
You will also have the opportunity to hear from your children's teachers and other leadership staff as well as existing parents and our senior students. There is also time devoted to answering all those burning questions you might have.
It's a very full evening but you are well supported with handout sheets, links to great websites, and of course our very comprehensive webpage.
