STEP INTO PREP

Pre-Prep Transition to School Program

Wonthaggi Primary School provides a free 9 week Step into Prep program in Term 4 for pre-school students intending to attend Wonthaggi Primary School in 2024. The ‘Step into Prep’ program is designed to fully support students in their transition between kinder and primary school.  We aim to have your child feeling safe and secure in the school environment before they begin school.
