Enrolment & Transition
School Tours
Tours begin promptly and take approximately 40 minutes. The school context will be presented via video, discussion and a walk-through. Walking through classrooms visitors will observe teaching and learning and have the opportunity to ask the teachers and students questions. You will see, hear and feel the school culture in an authentic way.

Transition to Primary Education
Our Foundation Transition Program aims to provide your child with many opportunities to learn about our school and begin settling in. Our goal is to have students feel safe, happy and excited about starting their school life at Le Page Primary.
It is our hope that each child has a happy, positive and satisfying beginning to the great adventure of life at school.

We look forward to meeting you and your child.
Transition to Secondary Education
As part of the transition from Year 6 to Year 7, students in government secondary schools participate in an orientation day. All government schools hold this orientation day on the same day (often the second Tuesday of December). It may include a school tour, meeting fellow students and teachers, and taking part in special lessons and activities. For information on preparing your child for secondary school, see:
