2026 Foundation (Prep) Enrolment
Transition from Kindergarten to School
The transition from kinder to school is a big step for most children. Parents need to be aware that children come to school with a wide range of skills and abilities and all children are individuals and develop in different ways at different rates.
Parents need to remember to be positive, encourage and support your child. Remember that school should be an exciting and enjoyable experience for children and the staff at Tyers Primary will do their utmost to ensure this will be so for your child.
When children begin school, they are required through necessity, to be able to perform some simple tasks independently.

Attendance for Preps in February
For the first two weeks of Term 1, Prep students will not be needed to attend school each day. Across Victorian schools four student days are allocated for individual student assessments. Your teacher will provide a day and time for each student to attend and participate in a selection of literacy and numeracy tasks. These assessments assist teachers to develop an understanding of each child's strengths and areas of need as they begin their formal schooling. Students attend for approximately 45 minutes. There is no need to prepare your child for these assessments and they will be conducted in a relaxed and engaging manner at school.
Prep students will have a staggered start for the first two weeks so they can have some rest days and then start full time.
Full days are 8:50am – 3.20pm. Children are welcome in the classroom from 8:35am onwards.
School Uniform & Requirements
The wearing of the School Uniform is compulsory at Tyers Primary School. The wearing of hats is compulsory during Terms 1 and 4.
Each child will need to have an art smock - an old shirt of dads would be fine! This can be kept at school.
Library bags are also required to protect the books that your child will borrow from the school library.
