At Cabramatta Public School, our FREE Kindergarten Transition Program sets us apart by offering a playful and engaging introduction to ‘big school’ that sparks curiosity and builds confidence. This thoughtfully designed program immerses your child in a warm, welcoming community where they explore the school environment, meet friendly teachers, and make new friends while participating in fun activities like assemblies, celebrations, and real classroom experiences.

This unique approach ensures your child gains the social skills, confidence, and enthusiasm needed to thrive from their very first day of school. Families benefit from knowing their child’s transition is smooth and joyful, laying a strong foundation for a successful educational journey.

Cabramatta Public School sets itself apart with the innovative SMILE (Smooth Movement into the Learning Environment) program, specifically designed to ensure a confident and joyful transition into Kindergarten for both children and their families. This program’s strength lies in actively partnering with parents and caregivers by providing essential information, practical workshops, and tailored strategies that support early literacy, numeracy, speech, and fine motor skills development at home.

Families benefit from gaining confidence and clear guidance before school begins, easing any anxiety and fostering a positive learning environment that extends from home to school. Additionally, SMILE builds a strong community network by connecting families with staff and each other, offering ongoing support throughout the Kindergarten year. This comprehensive approach ensures every child starts school ready to thrive, supported by engaged and informed families.

Cabramatta Public School’s Transition to High School Program offers Year 5 and 6 students multiple hands-on experiences that connect them directly with their future high school environment. This tailored program turns the often-overwhelming change into a positive, exciting journey by providing orientation days, interactive workshops, and classroom visits that make high school familiar and fun.

The strength of this program lies in its comprehensive approach—building students’ familiarity with the new setting, boosting their confidence through welcoming activities, and ensuring personalised support by sharing academic and wellbeing information between primary and high schools. Families benefit from knowing their child will feel prepared, supported, and inspired from day one, making the transition to high school smoother and more successful.
