Transition Visits for Mead, Chapple and Langley Children

Dear Parents,
As the end of the academic year draws to a close we have begun to prepare Mead, Chapple and three year old Langley students for their move to their new classrooms. In the coming weeks children will be participating in various transition visits. We have tried to schedule these across the school week so that all students are able to participate. Apart from the formal activities below, children will also be exposed to spontaneous and less formal transition walks and activities as the program permits.
