A Guide To Starting Primary School Helping parents make the first step a smooth one
Preparing Your Child for Primary School Going to school for the first time can be both exciting and challenging for parents and children. As a parent, you may have questions like: What should I pack for my child? How do I prepare them emotionally for this new environment? How can I make the experience fun and less overwhelming? By taking small steps and being prepared, you can make this important transition a positive and enjoyable experience for your child. Primary school is a big step, but with the right approach, it can be an opportunity for growth and learning.
Why Primary School is Important Primary schooling builds a strong foundation in core subjects. A positive learning attitude is essential for success.

You can start by: Gradually shifting bedtime and wake-up times to match the school routine, ensuring your child gets enough rest. Creating a morning routine that includes breakfast, getting dressed, and preparing their school bag. Practicing eating lunch within a set timeframe, so your child is ready for school lunch breaks. Encouraging independent tasks like laying out their clothes and packing their own lunch. By setting these routines early, you help your child feel more confident and prepared for their first day of school.
