Little Wonders Transition Program

Transition to School

'Little Wonders'

Believing that all children are competent and capable and active citizens of our world means that we need to recognise the rights of every child in their educational journey.

Beginning school is an important milestone in your child's development. At Tenison Woods Catholic School, we recognise and value the significance of this time and we work in partnership with families to ensure a smooth and successful transition to school. 

Transition is a gradual process whereby children begin to feel safe and secure in their surrounding environment, make friends and develop positive relationships with others. Once these important elements are in place, your child will be set up for successful learning.

With this understanding of change from Kindergarten to School we have developed a 'Little Wonders' Long Transition Program for your child.

For older children, and for children with specific needs, we can negotiate an alternative transition process.
