We have a close relationship with our local kindergartens. Our prep grades and various music groups visit the kindergartens to maintain links with the younger children and to give some insight into activities that are developed at school. Cheltenham Primary School offers a unique school experience program for kindergarten children.
Local kindergartens participate in our school experience activities throughout the year.
During term 4 Kinder students who will be attending our school next year come for a Transition program for several afternoons in November. This ensures all children have the opportunity to spend a number of sessions working and playing in a primary school environment. Each year many senior students are involved in a special team event called Tournament of the Minds. This is a problem solving activity in which children have 6 weeks to present a small group solution to a given problem. In addition, the team is required to solve a spontaneous problem, using their skills of creativity, team work and general knowledge.
