Starting Prep is an exciting time! It can also be a time of uncertainty for children and parents. To make the transition to school as seamless as possible, St Finbarr's holds Prep Information Sessions for those families with children transitioning from Kindy to Prep.
These events are held in Terms 1, 2 and 3 and are a chance for families to hear from leadership and Prep teachers, how to best prepare your child for school. Topics covered include -
Supporting the development of your child's pre-reading skills
Supporting the development of your child's numeracy skills
Supporting the development of your child's fine and gross motor skills.
Prep Readiness Sessions
St Finbarr's offers Prep Readiness sessions, where we welcome all families to join us to learn more about Prep life. These sessions are welcome to all - you do not have to be enrolled or have submitted an application - and they are designed to prepare children for their first day of school, ensuring there are only smiles and laughter for that special milestone.
Prep Readiness Sessions will be held 10.00am - 11.00am on:
- Term 1: Sunday 23 March 2025 - Pre-Reading Skills
- Term 2: Sunday 8 June 2025 - Introducing Numeracy
