Kindergarten orientation
Children enrolling for Kindergarten are usually invited to attend an orientation program in Term 4 of the year before they start. Kindergarten students will also start one week later than other students to allow for a more settled start to the year.
There is a dedicated Kindergarten Google site with videos and lots of information. The site has information about daily routines, uniforms, lunches, Best Start, before and after school care, canteen and other support resources.
Orientation timeline
Welcome to the Five Dock Public School community. We look forward to working in partnership with you to ensure your child reaches his or her potential during their primary schooling.
There are three transition dates for your child to attend in preparation for starting school. Over the three days of the transition period we will talk with your son or daughter about what happens at school, they will meet their buddies and participate in a range of activities. The purpose of this is to provide an opportunity for our incoming students to experience what happens at school. Parents will also attend sessions during these times, where they will be given information on a range of school matters.
