Foundation (Prep) Enrolments
Orientation Program
Alphington Primary School will typically run an Orientation Program on Wednesdays throughout October. (2 x AM sessions and 1 x PM session)
These sessions include Parent Information Sessions and separate fun activities in which the children will undertake a different activity each week with a different staff member (our current Foundation teachers). There is also an opportunity to meet and hear from the leadership team, hear from current Foundation parents, learn about the APS curriculum and also to purchase the school uniform.
Foundation Transition
The Better Buddies program is a key feature of Foundation Transition. This program pairs up our Year 5 students with a Pre-School child as part of the transition sessions offered in term 4 each year. Working with a Year 5 buddy is a wonderful way for our new students to connect with APS and of course provides a friendly, familiar face when school starts the following year. The Better Buddies program continues throughout the year with opportunities built into the curriculum that allow our youngest and oldest students to work together and it is something that is valued and enjoyed by all those involved.
Open Afternoon
Alphington Primary School Open Afternoon is held during Education Week each year. This is an excellent opportunity for children and parents to see the school and classrooms in operation. School tours are run by our Year 6 students, great ambassadors for the school and a personal tour with the Principal can also be arranged if you wish. Application forms and information are readily available on the day.
If you would like to enrol your child at Alphington Primary School you may do so by contacting Administration on 9499 2200 or by emailing alphington.ps@education.vic.gov.au. Please feel free to contact Administration if you have any questions or queries.
