We would like to provide some information for families with students in prep starting with Rowellyn Park Primary School next year. The below is some general information and dates for your calendars. As we get closer to the dates there will be more specific information provided to families.
Transition Days
During the end of 2024 you will be provided with timeslots to bring your child to school to attend for an hour to engage in learning activities with one of our teachers. During these times there will be parent information sessions for you to attend. Please keep the following dates available as it is important that students attend all transition sessions to ensure they have the best start to school. Please note that times will be throughout the day and will be provided closer to the dates.
Session 1: Tuesday 15th October
Session 2: Tuesday 29th October
Session 3: Tuesday12th November
Session 4: Tuesday 26th November
Session 5 (Statewide Transition Day): Tuesday 10th December
2025 Prep Start of Year Program
Our prep students start the school year a little bit later than the rest of the students. During this time, parents/carers are provided with an individual time to bring their child to school for 1:1 testing with their child’s teacher. This allows for the teachers to make sure that they are planning for the individual needs of their students. The following five days are half days for the prep students to allow them to get used to school. After that the students attend fulltime.
Tuesday 28th January/Wednesday 29th January – Curriculum days – School is closed for all students.
Thursday 30th January – Wednesday 5th February: Preps students do not attend school. Parents are provided with an individual one hour time slot to bring their child to school.
Thursday 6th February onwards: Prep students attend fulltime. A reminder of our daily schedule can be found here.
Please note: Our Out of School Hours program will run on the above days for families that require supervision during school hours.
If you have any questions regarding the 2024-2025 Prep transition process, please contact Assistant Principal Matt Vines by email or call 9782 0953.
