Prep Transition

At Greensborough Primary School we believe that the transition from Kindergarten to Primary School should be as smooth and enjoyable as possible. In order to assist this we invite future students and their families to attend four Transition sessions in Term 4. During these sessions, the children will have the opportunity to spend some time with their future teacher and other children who are also enrolling. Students participate in engaging activities which familiarise them with the structures and routines of school life. Parents are also invited to Information sessions which are held in the Library. These sessions are designed to give parents an insight into what they can expect from their child’s first year at school.

If you are looking to enrol your child at Greensborough Primary School for 2023 and haven’t done so yet, please visit the ‘Enrolments’ section on our website for more information or contact the school directly. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
