At St Brigid’s, we aim to ensure the transition into Kindergarten is a smooth and positive experience for all students.

Transition programs involve four opportunities for students to visit the school and participate in classes and playground activities, while their parents can socialise and meet new parents. Staff also conduct information sessions for parents to learn vital information about school readiness.

New Kindergartens are well and truly a part of the school community prior to their official first day of school. Kindergartens receive invitations and letters from their Year 6 Mighty Mates prior to starting school to ensure that they have at least one special friend on arrival at school.

Students transitioning to high school are supported by involvement in orientation days at their selected high schools. The classroom teachers and Learning Support teachers are also available to discuss learning and social needs with representatives of each of the schools our students are transitioning into.
