What’s been happening in Red
Building
Last Tuesday we started our whole school transi:on program. Our 2015 Preps arrived for
their first session and our current Preps, Year 2 and 4 students moved up a level. Teachers reported that the students were well behaved and very excited. A number of new
ac:vi:es were conducted to assist the students to transi:on into their new level. This
year we will be having an UP day on the 9th December for all students. Our new Preps
will spend half a day with their 2015 teacher and class whilst other classes will spend the
whole day with their 2015 class and teacher.
