Ready for School

Enrolments at our popular school continue to grow. Bookings will open soon 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.

READY FOR SCHOOL: 2022-2023 

Ready for School orientation sessions

Visits run over two days. These visits will include a recess break so please send your child to school with a healthy snack and some water.

Our Ready for School Program includes an orientation package.

You will be required to register for the Ready for School Orientation programs via a link (watch this space!).

(Please note that a new registration for all students is required for the Ready for School sessions)

For orientation visits to take place within the school, the following requirements must be in place:

  • All students attending require a completed enrolment form.
  • School to develop a risk assessment for any student with additional learning, health care or behavioural needs.
  • Parents and carers to confirm that their child is well and free of any flu-like symptoms.
  • Parents and carers to enter the school site and report to a designated drop-off and collection zone.
  • Parents and carers should not remain on site for longer than 10 minutes.
  • Parents and carers will be required to sign in via QR code to register their name and contact details and complete the external visitors form. This record will only be used for the purposes of contact tracing for COVID-19 infections and stored confidentially and securely.
  • All visitors to respect physical distancing guidelines.

The school will follow regular procedures and protocols:

  • Promote good hand hygiene practices and make sure that bathrooms are well stocked with hand soap and paper towels and have hand sanitiser at key points around the venue such as entry and exit points.
  • Parents and carers will not be allowed to access to areas outside of the designated drop-off and collection points and should leave promptly at the conclusion of the event.

Feel free to contact us by phone, email or in person for any additional information you may require prior to your child starting Kindergarten with us.

An Early Quality Start Makes all the Difference-A Unique & Customised Approach

Great relationships form the foundation for great learning at our school. Our Ready for School Program begins to build the important relationships amongst kids, teachers & parents that shape this exciting journey.

Our program is unique and dynamic. It starts early & is comprehensive in the range of learning experiences it offers. It is customised for each child through its Ready for School support pack. Another feature is the early involvement of the school's Buddy Leadership Team, where each pre-school child is allocated an older buddy for the duration of the program and into the next year. Our proven record of success for children and their families, and the positive feedback received, show this is a highly valued, innovative & popular program.

Our program taps into the on-going curiosity, love of learning and individual capacities that young children bring to the school experience-elements that are highly valued & nurtured at our school through our quality teaching & learning practices. It showcases for kids & their families the genuine community spirit and sense of collaboration & team-work that our school is so well known for, as well as its forward-thinking approach to meaningful, inclusive & engaged learning in the 21st century.

Welcome to Lewisham. You'll notice the difference.
