Information for Foundation Parents

Getting your child ready for school

As part of our Transition to Foundation program, we invite all children who are offered a Foundation position to attend school for our Transition program to experience school life. During this time, parents can attend information sessions about school life, where they will also hear valuable tips and stories from current Foundation parents. We send all new families a transition booklet early in term 4.

Parent Tips

We suggest families use the summer break before the new school year to:

• be positive with your child about starting school, and enjoy your child’s excitement
• show your child where the school is and talk about how you will get there
• practise the things your child will need to do to get ready for school (e.g. putting things in their bag, remembering to take a hat etc.)
• confirm your before school care and after school care arrangements. If you’re using our OSHC service, show your
• child where the facility is and talk about how they will get there
• try to arrange play dates with other families whose children will be attending PHPS.
