TERM 3 - Launch into Prep Sessions
Welcome to Apollo’s Classroom Experiences.
Our classroom experiences will be held from week 6 until week 9 in Term 3. In the program enrolled future preps visit the school for an hour in a prep classroom. The classroom experience gives us the opportunity to work with your child and get to know them individually. By doing this we begin building relationships and your child and they build strong ties with our school.
During the classroom experience the children will work on activities that cover listening, writing, cutting, singing and playing games with other children.
Parents are welcome to stay at the school during the classroom experience, we ask that parents use the staffroom as a meeting point to talk with other new parents.
Children will be invited to attend at least one of the Classroom Experiences in Term 3. This experience is highly recommended for your child. Look out for the email!
TERM 4 - Lift Off into Prep Sessions
We are excited to announce the dates for our Lift Off program which will begin in Term 4. All our Lift Off sessions begin at 9.15am and conclude at 10.30am. The dates for the sessions are:
• Tuesday 12th November
• Tuesday 19th November
• Tuesday 26th November
• Tuesday 10th December
All enrolled prep children must attend the sessions during this time. The Lift Off sessions gives the teachers an opportunity to further work with your child and get to know them individually before forming the grades for the next year. By doing this we can identify their needs both emotionally and educationally and pair with a teacher and group of students that suit their needs. We also look at friendships both within the program and at Kindergartenbefore making grades.
Children will be invited to all the Lift Off sessions in Term 4. Look out for the email!

STARTING PREP
Starting school is part of a child's long term progression from dependence to independence. You have been preparing your child for school in many ways. What your child learns at school will build on the skills and knowledge you have already helped your child to learn. We hope our information and Prep Launch Program will assist you and your child to make a smooth and happy transition to school life at Apollo Parkways Primary School.
IS MY CHILD READY FOR SCHOOL IN 2025?
Children enjoy starting school if they are already showing confidence in some basic aspects of their physical, emotional, social and intellectual development. At school your child will build on the skills and knowledge that you have helped develop. Your child's preschool teacher will be able to assist when making decisions about school readiness.
WHEN SHOULD MY CHILD START SCHOOL?
To enrol in a Victorian government school, children must be at least five years of age by the 30th of April in the year they start school.
