First Day of Prep 2014


The new school year is upon us and tomorrow the Preps will be attending their first day of school at Moreland Primary! We are very excited to show them our new learning spaces and to introduce our new Team: Miss Jennah, Kellie, Freya, Jeff and Mary.

There will be three home groups: Echidnas, Bilbies and Cockatoos. Every morning the Preps will go into these groups to mark the roll and hand in any forms/notes.

In the next few days you will also receive an interview time for the Prep testing, which will occur over the next four weeks (on Wednesdays). The purpose of this appointment is to complete the 'Maths Online Interview' and the 'English Online Interview'. Students will also see Linzi our school speech pathologist and parents will have time to talk to a teacher about their child and the upcoming school year. The results will provide us with valuable information about your child's individual skills and abilities and will help us to plan specifically for the needs and interests of your child. They are also a great way of getting to know your child in a one-on-one setting early in the school year.

Just a friendly reminder that school will start at 9 am and the Preps will be picked up at 1 pm. They will need a hat, drink bottle and food for recess. Lunch will be eaten at home.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow,

The Prep Team
