Preps ease in to big school

THE preps attending Southern Cross Primary School next year should have an easy time fitting in if the past five weeks are any indication. Youngsters from local kindergartens around Endeavour Hills have been attending a transition program at the school to help make the daunting move as easy as possible. The group has been involved in various activities in different parts of the school in a bid to familiarise them with their new environment. Teacher Andree Rodwell said: “It has been very successful and the children are feeling more comfortable with their surroundings as the weeks have progressed.”
