Transition

Children who are about to turn five will visit the school prior to enrolment as part of their transition to school. They may visit with their local early childhood centre, along with other children who are due to start at GPS. They will also have school visits, where they come with a parent or caregiver. The number of visits can be negotiated with the New Entrant teacher – there is no set amount.

Welcome to Geraldine Primary School. We are excited to have your whānau as part of our kura. Prior to your five year old starting at GPS, they are welcome to attend our junior syndicate’s developmental programme, which is run on a Friday morning. Please contact your child’s early childhood centre or our New Entrant teacher for dates and times.
