FOUNDATION FAMILIARISATION & TRANSITION PROGRAM

Once you have chosen to enrol at Moonee Ponds Primary School and you have received your letter of offer and accepted. You will be invited to attend our Foundation Familiarisation & Transition program.

We take great pride in the way in which our students make the transition from Kindergarten to their Foundation year, we aim to make it as enjoyable, smooth and positive as possible.

We offer an extensive familiarisation program that commences in Term 4 and continues through until formal Foundation Transition in November. We have found that by developing a strong relationship between our school, the new Foundation children and their parents as soon as possible, we can better plan programs to suit the specific needs of the children.

Our program also helps to make our new students and their families feel part of our Moonee Ponds Primary School community.

Please note: Students must be enrolled to attend the familiarisation and transition sessions.
