Presentation
An informative presentation to parents at your School or Early Childhood Centre.
Create a sense of community by making it a social occasion at your school/centre - a great learning opportunity for teaching staff too. Connect in a relaxed setting while helping parents feel confident and prepared.
Sessions often coincide with orientation mornings, school visits or at a time that best suits your community.

Online Course
A self-paced, online course to help you feel prepared and embrace the school transition.
This course is perfect if you can’t attend a live presentation or need something that fits around your busy schedule. Complete it at your own pace, from the comfort of home. It covers the same content as the in-person session.

Book
A children’s picture book to preview life at school, with advice for parents at the back.
The more your child knows about school before they begin, the more confident and secure they will feel on day one. Enjoy this book together as you follow Riley and Alex on their first day at school. At the back, you'll find practical tips and thoughtful suggestions to support your child.
