Term 4:
Our Belle Vue Bumble Bees’ Orientation Program begins for enrolled 2024 Prep students.
In these sessions your child will participate in primary school life. During one of the first sessions, they are greeted by the Prep teachers for 2024 and receive a showbag of school “goodies”. Your child will complete part-day and full day sessions.
Our Bumble Bees program will be held on the following dates:
#1 Thursday November 2nd 2pm – 3pm
#2 Thursday November 9th 9.15am – 10.15am
#3 Monday November 27th 9am – 10.30am
Finally, 2023 Prep students will attend their first ‘full day’ at school on Tuesday December 5th (Full Day) 9.00am – 3pm
One of the most valued parts of our program is our Grade 5/Prep Buddies Program. Your child is allocated their Grade 5 buddy, who remains in that relationship with them in Prep and Grade 1. Our Prep students develop a supportive and comfortable relationship with their Buddy which can be maintained over the next two years.
There will also be a Prep specific information session for parents to help you and your child with the transition to primary school, held during the full day student orientation on Tuesday December 6th 2pm – 2.45pm.
We look forward to meeting you and your child,
supporting your family through the transition from kinder to Foundation
and welcoming you to the Belle Vue Primary School community.
