TRANSITIONING TO SCHOOL
& SCHOOL VISITS

At Rutherford Primary we run a programme called 'HeadStart'.  It is for children aged 4 years and enrolled at Rutherford Primary.  HeadStart is held every Tuesday from 1.30pm - 2.30pm.  Your child is welcome to attend as many sessions as you like before starting school.

SCHOOL VISITS
All New Entrant children have ONE visit, to their new classroom, before they start school.  This visit will be the Tuesday before they turn 5.  They will visit their new class from 9am - 11.30am, this includes our Morning Tea break.

We also have a transitioning programme with Rutherford Pre-School, and hold annual events with the local Kindergartens.

We consider transitioning to school a very important stage in a childs life.  We try to give parents as much information and support as possible to make this transition easier for both parties.
