Transition to School CLASSES!
EVERY Wednesday at 2pm
Children that are about 4 and a half years old are welcome to come with caregivers.
Nothing is more important than a successful transition into school.
CALL US.
TELL US YOUR ADDRESS AND WE CAN CONFIRM WHETHER YOU ARE IN ZONE OR NOT.
If you are not in zone you may still enrol at our school, but there is an easy process to go through.
Ring and talk to us and we will help.
When should I enrol for Turuturu School? If your child is commencing school for the first time, it is best to enrol as early as possible.
Do I need an appointment or can I just ‘turn up’? A talk with the principal, Richard, is important.
Phone the Office, 278 2200, to arrange a time which is mutually convenient. By making an appointment, time is specifically put aside for you and your child.
What do I need to bring? Your child’s birth certificate or their passport to verify their date of birth and the immunisation record. We take a photocopy of this key information.
You may be asked to prove your address.
What happens when enrolling? We visit the classroom your child will be in and if possible meet the teacher. We take a tour of the school and show you anything and everything you want. Just because we are enrolling a new 5 year old fresh to school, doesn't mean you won't want to see a Year 6 class hard at work. You can compete the enrolment form at school or take it way and bring it back later.
How much time does enrolling take?
Usually 20 –30 minutes.
What does the school also need to know:
Key contact information.
Your address.
Parent / Caregiver details.
Your child’s interests .
Emergency contacts.
Medical Information.
Very Important...If your child has a medical condition, disability, learning disorder etc it is the family’s responsibility to ensure this and it’s implications are discussed and outlined so the school is informed and knowledgeable.
If we are to provide the best of care and education for your child we do need to know. Your child is welcome at Turuturu, all information is treated in confidence.
Children cannot start school before their fifth birthday however all children nearing their enrolment date are encouraged to make visits with their parents to the school and their new classroom.
