Foundation Transition

Foundation Transition

 

To discover why Gladstone Views Primary School is the right choice for your child, we encourage you to take a ‘virtual’ tour of our well-resourced learning spaces and extensive grounds.

 

 

You can enrol your child/children into our school by completing the enrolment form online and emailing it to – gladstone.views.ps@education.vic.gov.au or alternatively posting it to – Gladstone Views Primary School, 217 Carrick Drive, Gladstone Park, 3043.

 

If you have any questions that you need to discuss with the Principal, Mr Alex Mowat or our Foundation coordination, Michelle Rizk you can email the school on gladstone.views.ps@education.vic.gov.au and request a phone meeting.

 

Moving from Kindergarten/Pre-School to Primary School can be an exciting but challenging time in your child’s life. At Gladstone Views Primary School, we know the importance of ensuring that your child experiences an enjoyable and happy transition and we will be offering an extensive transition program during Term 4, for students attending in the future year.

 

 

Our Transition to School program will consist of five transition sessions and a school wide Step-Up-Day. These transition sessions take place in october, November and December. More information on the days and dates will be communucated to enrolled families.

 

The activities in the transition program will focus on familiarising your child with the school environment in a friendly, stress-free way.

 

These activities have been designed to:

  • encourage socialisation
  • develop confidence
  • experience some of the opportunities that our school offers
  • meet the Foundation teachers and students they will work with in 2025
  • develop fine and gross motor skills
  • explore a variety of equipment and resources

 

 

In the first week of Foundation, our students engage with their teacher in literacy and numeracy assessments to establish each child's learning needs.

 

Our teachers use this information to plan the learning continuum of your child in line with the Victorian Curriculum. This approach ensures that each student's educational journey is tailored to their unique strengths and areas for growth, providing a solid foundation for their future learning experiences.

 

We are committed to supporting your child's educational development and look forward to a successful year ahead.
