Enrolment interviews
Families enrolling children to start Kindergarten in 2027 at Marayong South Public School will be invited to attend an enrolment interview at the school during Term 3, 2026.
These interviews give us the opportunity to get to know your child, including their strengths, interests and any additional needs, so we can best support them as they begin their learning journey at school.
Interviews will take approximately 15 minutes and will be held throughout Term 3. We kindly ask families to bring along any relevant reports, such as paediatrician, health, speech or language reports, to assist us in supporting your child.
If you require any further assistance, please contact the office.
Transition to School Statement
Marayong South Public School warmly 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 strengths, interests and approaches to learning, as observed by their early childhood educator and expressed through the voice of the child. This information offers valuable insight for staff at Marayong South Public School as we begin planning supportive and engaging teaching and learning programs, and help create a positive and successful transition to school.
We kindly ask that early childhood educators seek permission from families before emailing these statements to the school. Families are also very welcome to share their child's statement directly with us.
Best Start Kindergarten Assessment
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 4 weeks of school in Term 3 2026.

Supporting young learners
Families play an important role in supporting young children’s learning in early childhood and the early years of schools. These resources provide ideas to engage in learning at home through every day experiences.
Use the learning outcome cards below to unpack learning in relation to the early years curriculum and show how this learning links to learning at school.
