"We love Orientation Day! We get to meet our new friends and help our newest community members feel part of the big Green School family. It's a special and important time for children to get familiar with their new school surroundings, and their new friends and teachers. Parents can get connected and organised - we know that's important too. The whole day has been designed for you, and we can't wait to see you there!"
