An Information Evening on School Readiness will be conducted by our Foundation teachers, Ms Alex Van Nugteren, Miss Sophie Hawkes, Ms Jennifer Livaditis and Mrs Kelly Mitchell,  and is open to any interested families, whether they have already enrolled at a school or not. The session commences at 6.30 p.m. with the Foundation teachers and the Principal available beforehand for an informal chat from 6.00 p.m.

Two Group Activity Sessions will be conducted by our Foundation teachers for children commencing their Foundation year in 2019. This is open to any children (and parents/guardians) who may be interested; not only those enrolled at Reservoir West Primary School. During these sessions the children will be exposed to some structured and unstructured learning and play activities. These sessions will be conducted from 9.45 until 10.45 a.m. on the above days.

A Teddy Bears' Picnic for enrolled Foundation students will commence in the Gym at 9.30 a.m. and will conclude at 10.45 a.m. The children will participate in fun activities with their Teddy Bears. Children are to bring along a snack and drink for the Picnic. Parents are asked to not stay in the Gym during this time as it may be too crowded and distracting for the students.

The Playground Experience is for enrolled Foundation students. It will commence at the Stage at 4.00 p.m and will conclude at 5.00 p.m. The children will participate in some activities and have a chance to play on the playground. This is a chance for children to become more familiar with their new environment and get to know some new faces.

The Classroom Experience Session commences at 11.45 a.m. and concludes at 1.30 p.m. The 2019 Foundation students will spend the session in the classrooms participating in Literacy and Numeracy activities. Children are asked to bring along lunch. Parents are asked not to stay with their children.

An Information Evening will be held for parents/guardians of 2019 Foundation students. The evening will commence at 6.30 p.m. Parents/guardians will be given comprehensive details of school operations and curriculum. The 2019 Foundation Handbook will also be distributed and discussed. It is recommended that young children do not attend the Information Evening.
