Enrolment Interviews
Children who are starting Kindergarten in 2024, and their parents, will need to attend an enrolment interview at school, in Term 3, 2023. This interview allows us to understand your child's unique needs, strengths, and interests, enabling us to provide them with the best possible learning experience. Please bring any reports, such as paediatrician, health, speech and language reports, to this interview.
Interviews will take approximately 15 minutes and are being held daily during Week 7, Term 3, the dates include from Monday the 28th of August to Friday the 1st of September. We have a large number of interviews to conduct, so please book in your preferred time, as soon as possible.
Once you have completed your online enrolment form you can book your interview online. Go to www.schoolinterviews.com.au and follow these simple instructions.
You can return to www.schoolinterviews.com.au at any time and change your interview time. If you require any further assistance, please contact the office on (02) 4726 6020.
Transition to School Statement
Jordan Springs Public School invites families and early childhood educators to share children's Transition to School Statements with us.
A Transition to School Statement provides a summary of a child's strength, interests and approaches to learning as seen through the eyes of their early childhood educator and using the voice of the child. This statement provides a valuable insight into the child for Jordan Springs Public School staff to prepare for and begin planning and creating supportive and engaging teaching and learning programs, as well as a positive transition to school environment.
We ask that early childhood educators seek permission from families before emailing these statements to the schools email address. We also welcome families sharing their child's statement.
Best start
The Best Start Kindergarten Assessment identifies student’s literacy and numeracy skills on entry to Kindergarten. All NSW Kindergarten students complete the literacy and numeracy assessment before formal learning in the classroom happens.
The Best Start Kindergarten Assessment provides teachers with the opportunity to sit with a child one on one, focusing on what that child can do. The assessment is not a test but provides teachers with useful information to help support your child’s learning at school.
The assessment will take approximately 30 minutes for each child and will be held in the first week of school in 2024. Each child will be allocated a time when they need to come to the school for their assessment. You will be notified in writing of your child’s assessment time.
At Jordan Springs Public School, this assessment will take place from Thursday, 1st of February 2024 to Tuesday, 6th of February 2024 with formal schooling commencing on Thursday 8th February, 2024.
To help make this first day a smooth transition as well as a special celebration, we will stagger the start time for students from 9:00am to 11:00am, the day will end at 2:00pm. On Thursday the 8th and Friday the 9th February students will attend from 8:55am to 1:55pm. Please note from Monday the 12th of February, school starts at 8:55am and concludes at 2:55pm every day.

Jordan Springs Public School are excited to meet our new Kindergarten students on Thursday 8th February 2024. To help make this day an easy transition as well as a special celebration, we will stagger the start time for students from 9 am to 11 am.
