At Crafers Primary School we offer a Reception transition program to facilitate a smooth beginning to school. Children are invited to spend a small amount of time in the classroom in the weeks preceding the term they are due to start.
New Reception students receive a letter during the term prior to starting school informing them and their families of the transition arrangements.
Mid Year Enrolments
From 2024 children who turn 5 years old:
- before 1 May can start primary school (the first year is known as reception) at the beginning of the year
- from 1 May to 31 October start school through the mid-year intake at the start of term 3 of that year
- after 31 October start school at the beginning of the following year.
Students who start school at the beginning of the year will complete 4 terms of reception.
Students who start school through a mid-year intake (start of term 3) will complete 6 terms of reception.
