Ready for School

Enrolments at our popular school continue to grow. Bookings are now open for our popular Ready For School Program.

What is the Ready for School program?

Ready for School is for prospective Kinder enrolments. 

Kids are allocated an older student from the Ready for School Buddy Leadership Team who will become a contact person for each visit and into their first year at school.

An Early Quality Start Makes All the Difference

At Lewisham, we take a unique and customised approach to help your child begin their learning journey with confidence and enthusiasm.

Building Strong Relationships for Great Learning

Our Ready for School program lays the foundation for strong relationships among children, teachers and parents. These connections are key to a successful and enjoyable start to school.

A Unique and Dynamic Program Tailored to Each Child

Our comprehensive program offers a wide range of learning experiences designed to meet the individual needs of each child through our Ready for School support pack. One of the highlights is the involvement of our Buddy Leadership Team—each preschool child is paired with an older buddy who supports them throughout the program and into their first year of school.

Proven Success and Community Spirit

We are proud of the positive feedback from families who have participated in this innovative program. It nurtures children’s natural curiosity, love of learning and individual strengths through high-quality teaching and inclusive practices.

Experience Our Collaborative and Forward-Thinking School Community

Our program showcases the genuine community spirit, collaboration and teamwork that Lewisham is known for, alongside our commitment to meaningful, inclusive learning in the 21st century.

Welcome to Lewisham — where you’ll notice the difference.
