School Tours

At Bungaree Primary School, we welcome new families to our school community. If you are considering a school for child or children, why not come along and meet our Principal and tour our fantastic school? We would love the opportunity to share what Bungaree can offer your family. School tours can be arranged by appointment, anytime. We look forward to meeting you soon!

 

Kinder Visits

To inspire the love of learning at Bungaree Primary School, we encourage local kindergartens to come and visit and experience school life at Bungaree. We can arrange a morning of discovery play and learning with our Junior Classroom teacher and students, and welcome enquiries from kindergartens in the local area. If you would like to learn more about our Kinder visits, please contact our Principal.

 

Kinder-School Transition

In Term 4 we welcome prospective Foundation students to take part in a Transition Program called "Foundation Fun." During their time at school, the Kinder children take part in classroom activities with the other children from the Junior Classroom. This involves our morning discovery play, story time, shared reading, a literacy lesson, fruit break, and last, but not least, morning recess. Each Kinder child is assigned a buddy from the Junior Classroom for the session who supports them every step of the way. The whole aim of our program is to allow our prospective Foundation students to take part in a normal, relaxed and friendly school day to prepare them for the big adventurous step into primary school. Visit our Foundation Fun Transition page for more information!
