Transition to School

School Visits
While children will differ in terms of how many visits they will need to help them transition to school, parents are encouraged to bring their children to school for about three class visits (Wednesdays, but this is negotiable), during the month before they start at Richmond Road School.  This is to support a smooth transition to school for both the child and their family.   Please contact Nicole Maeli at the school office to organise school visits.

Transition to School Meetings 2012
In addition to these visits, we hold two 'Transition to Richmond Road School' meetings each year.  These 'Transition' meetings are held on the second Thursday of term 2 and term 4, and are primarily an information sharing session for parents/whanau of children who will be starting at Richmond Road School in the following two terms.

The 'Transition to Richmond Road School' meetings (held in the staffroom, 5:15-6:30pm) for 2012 are:
  • Thursday 3rd May
  • Thursday 25th October
Children are welcome to attend.  Light refreshments will be provided.
