Curious Brothers Reception Transition and Continuity Program
Developing Strong Foundations for Life-Long Learning
“Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water.”
Loris Malaguzzi
At Christian Brothers College, we offer a Reception Transition Program in Term 2 (for our mid-year intake) and Term 4 (for those commencing the following year) with the aim of ensuring a smooth transition from their early childhood settings to the school environment. Before your son begins his learning journey with us we make it a priority to visit him in his own early childhood setting. This allows us to work closely in partnership with early years’ educators to ensure information is communicated to provide a seamless transition for both your child and your family.
Our Reception classes embrace the principles of Reggio Emilia as the bridge in connecting the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) with the Australian Curriculum. With a large focus on inquiry-based learning, five transition visits are conducted by the Reception teachers which offer the opportunity for your child to develop confidence, independence, social skills, fine motor coordination, and listening skills while in their new school environment.
