Prep Transition

Building a Strong Prep Community

Starting school is an exciting milestone for children and families alike. At Overnewton, we recognise that the Prep year lays the foundation for a child’s educational journey, which is why we place a strong emphasis on building a supportive and connected community from day one.

The Prep community extends beyond the classroom, with strong partnerships between teachers and parents playing a vital role in each child’s success. Prep teachers quickly become trusted figures in students’ lives, supporting them academically, socially and emotionally during this formative year.

Throughout the year, families are invited to engage in school life through social events, classroom experiences and parent-teacher interviews. These opportunities help families stay connected, informed and part of a community that often grows together well beyond the Prep years.
