Parents of New Entrant children will receive a written invitation to visit the reception classroom on up to three occasions before the child starts school. An extensive information kit will be given to the parents of all New Entrant children. In order to give children an optimum start to school, it is strongly recommended that no New Entrant children begin school in December each year. All our contributing kindergartens are willing to retain December five year olds until the Christmas holidays. Parents of children turning five in December are welcome to discuss this matter with the school.
