Know your school by...

Help your child get to know the school environment and routine by:

• Driving past and walking around the school, especially during school hours, so that your child gets used to the number of children, and their movements within the school grounds. Make sure you let school staff in the office know if you are walking around inside the school grounds.
• Asking the school what equipment and materials your child needs, like a school bag, library bag or hat. Most schools will provide a list. Make sure all possessions are labelled with your child’s name.

Before their first day, your child should know how to easily find their classroom and where to:

• Put their things, like school bag and hat.
• Have their lunch breaks.
• Meet you each day when school is finished.
• Go to After School Care if needed.
