At Balwyn North Primary School, we pride ourselves on our commitment to developing the whole child, with a strong focus on both learning and wellbeing.
We encourage future Foundation students to attend our Transition Program that is held in Term 4 prior to starting school.
Our transition sessions are thoughtfully designed to be fun, welcoming, and supportive. They provide a valuable opportunity for children to build connections with their future classmates and teachers in a relaxed and engaging environment. It is also an opportunity for parents to meet one another, begin forming connections within the school community, and receive important information to help prepare for the exciting journey of their child starting school.
