2025 Kindy Orientation & 2024 Kindy to Pre-primary Transition

Dear Parents/Guardians,
To support the Kindy students moving to the ‘big’ school in 2025, Lathlain Primary has organised
for the students to spend a morning at the Howick Street site, so they become familiar with the
school. This visit will allow the students to have a play in the Pre-Primary play area, visit a
classroom and complete an activity with the Pre-Primary staff.
To ensure the students are supported and comfortable, the kindy staff will accompany the
children for the morning.
The morning procedure will be as follows:
