Starting school can be an exciting time for a child and their family. Holroyd City Council's Children's Services in partnersip with our local schools have created the Transition to School Booklet to provide families with school readiness information and details on most local schools.
Each year our Long Day Care/Preschools and Occasional Care services operate a transition to school program which assists in preparing children for the new environments and new routines which they will be encounting when starting school.
The programs supplement the preparation for school skills that each service offers based on individual children's developmental readiness.
Each year Holroyd City Council's Children's Services and the Principals (Principals in Partnership Group), meet regularly and plan a transition to school event where participating schools present on a range of topics relating to school readiness and the Kindergarten program. Teachers and children from the schools are present to meet, greet and answer any questions.
