New Families Microsite - Orientation Day

It's Your Day - Orientation Day!

Last Updated December 2025

"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!"

Supporting your child to settle in

Before school begins, you’ll hear from your child’s Learning Neighbourhood Head with details about the first few days. Our experienced educators will warmly welcome new students, helping them feel safe, connected, and ready to learn.

Each age group has a tailored approach to settling in, with gentle support in building friendships and classroom routines. Parents will be greeted at the entrance gates—an encouraging, confident goodbye helps children transition smoothly.

We also invite parents to connect through our Parent Learning Neighbourhood, with social gatherings, workshops, and cultural experiences facilitated by The Bridge.

Don’t forget to share a local or WhatsApp number with Admissions so we can reach you if needed.
