Prep Transition Session 1 – Tuesday 10 November On Tuesday morning we welcomed our 2016 Prep students and their parents to Wembley for the first transition session. The children, who were allocated to four classes, met their new teacher and had the opportunity to interact with their new classmates. Congratulations to the 2016 Prep Teaching Team Simon King - Team Leader, Kate Gialamatzis, Candice De Chalain and Felicity Jones, for preparing the day and ensuring that all of new Preps were engaged and happy in their new class and school. Jim Kinniburgh presented a session on ‘Beginning Literacy” which was well received by all parents who attended. The morning went extremely smoothly thanks to the careful planning and organization of the Prep team, the Leadership Team and the support staff. The next session for our new Preps will be held on Tuesday 24 November, 9.00am and on this day the children will go directly to their classrooms to meet their teacher. The Prep Family Gathering will be held on Thursday 3 December, 5.00pm-6.00pm and this will be an opportunity to meet the teachers and parents socially for a sausage sizzle.
