Kindergarten Transition

Kindergarten Orientation

At Chittaway Bay Public School our Kindergarten Orientation Program is designed to gently introduce young children to school life through engaging, hands-on activities that spark creativity and curiosity. This program helps children build confidence, develop social skills, and become familiar with the classroom environment in a fun and supportive setting. By participating in our Orientation program, children are better prepared to start their learning journey with excitement and a sense of belonging.
