On Monday the 9th September, we held our second Transition to School talk at Swannanoa School. We had a number of parents attend and we hope that it answered any questions you may have had and informed you of what starting school will look like for your child. In the New Year we will again be holding these talks at the school.

A wee reminder that if you have not already enrolled your child at school and they are starting in the New Year, please do so.

If you have someone ready to start school:

These 3 things might help.

School readiness : - Even more important than ABC’s is learning to mix with others and looking after yourself.

But what about our worries? – Be brave! Children copy us, so you need to be a good role-model. Look after yourself, as well as them.

For your Tamariki: - Be positive! They are going to be awesome (and so are you!)
