Kindergarten Orientation 2018

Starting school is an exciting and sometimes daunting time for both parents and children.  Here at Greenwich Public School we want to help make the transition as smooth as possible through a comprehensive Orientation Program for both children and parents.

Not only will you be introduced to our friendly school staff and support team, your child will visit classrooms, participate in activities and have fun, all in the surrounds of our quiet neighbourhood school.

Students thrive in a secure, nuturing setting in which the individual's talents, abilities, needs and differences are celebrated and valued.

Sessions will also be held during these visits for parents, outlining the current educational practices in the early years of school
