Transition Program
Transition Program
The Sacred Heart Transition Program is offered to children entering Kindergarten the following year.
The Transition Program co-ordinated and facilitated by a qualified teacher. Students will be supported to become independent in a multi-stage classroom through interaction with the K-2 cohort and the routine of a day at school.
The program will run each {day to be decided} commencing Week 6, Term 1 and continues until Week 4, Term 4 (during school terms).
The Transition Program is very beneficial for children. They will;
- Children become more familiar with staff, students and the school environment.
- Children are gradually exposed to the different expectations of ‘big school’.
- Staff are able to identify learning styles and individual needs of students prior to the commencement of Kindergarten allowing programs to be developed if required.
- Children are paired with an older ‘buddy’ who provides friendship and support.
- Enhances transition to school through consistent pre-curriculum delivery.
- Transition particularly supports children who have not attended pre-school or have minimal time socialising with other children due to isolation.
- Parents will be supported in preparing their children for formal learning
A parent information meeting is held at the beginning of the year.
