Step into Prep is our kinder to school transition program. It is designed for children who will be attending Elmore Primary School in 2024. It provides multiple opportunities for our new students to spend time in our learning environment. Learners will benefit from increased social interaction with teachers and peers in a classroom setting, exposure to daily routines and familiarisation with our learning environment. Weekly sessions will vary with learners participating in a mixture of classroom based activities with existing students and alternative activities with the 2024 Prep cohort.
