Kindergarten Orientation days
The orientation days are a chance for the Kindergarten students of 2025 to visit and experience school, to meet the Kindergarten teachers and to meet other students that will potentially be attending Greenwich Public School. It is also an opportunity for the Kindergarten teachers to meet the students for 2025 and gain an understanding of their learning needs.
The orientation days are not just an opportunity for the students to meet some new friends, it is also an opportunity for parents. Orientation days include presentations to the parents from the school representatives, the P&C, the Uniform shop volunteers, the Greenwich Out of School Hours (GOOSH) provider and a welcome tea or coffee where you can meet some of the other Kindergarten parents.
Orientation Days will take place over three weeks in Term 4.
