We understand that starting at a new school can be both exciting and overwhelming for both students and parents/carers alike. For this reason, we have developed transition/orientation programs that are designed to provide optimal opportunities for our students to achieve long term successful placement in our new school environment. To ensure we build on our students’ strengths and achieve their goals, our new students and their families are supported before, during and after their transition to their new learning environment of Wayi School.

Prep Transition Plan for 2024
In 2024, prep students are invited to visit Wayi from 9:30-10:30 during Week 8, 9, 10 and 11. The following dates are:
- Monday 25th November
- Monday 2nd December
- Monday 9th December

- Wednesday 18th December
- Thursday 19th December.
Prep Transition Plan for Term 1, 2025
All prep students will have a delayed start with a slow extension of the day for the first two weeks. A slower transition can help alleviate stress and anxiety for both students and parents. Allowing students to enter the school at a more relaxed time during the initial weeks helps them become familiar with the school setting and routines. A gradual introduction to the school routine can contribute to a positive and successful experience for the students as they begin their school journey.

This year’s transition will commence in Week 11 being from Monday the 17th of December until Friday the 20th of December 2024. Relevant information will be communicated to the families closer to the Orientation.
