Give Your Child a Head Start at Saint David’s Parish School.

Starting school is one of life’s most significant milestones—and at Saint David’s Parish School, Tea Tree Gully, you can feel confident knowing your child is receiving the very best start.

If your child turns five between 1 May and 31 October next year, they are eligible to commence Reception in Term 3, offering them not just an early start, but a head start on their educational journey.

What Does Term 3 Reception Look Like?

At Saint David’s Parish School, Term 3 Reception offers a gentle, play-based introduction to school. The program focuses on:

• Building strong connections
• Developing social and emotional skills
• Creating a safe and supportive learning space
• Laying the foundations in literacy and numeracy while developing a deep love of learning

Why Term 3 Reception Makes a Difference

Research shows that high-quality learning in the early years before formal schooling, plays a significant role in a child’s development.

Children who begin Reception in Term 3 benefit from a longer transition period—spending 18 months in Reception before progressing to Year 1, allowing them more time to adjust, explore, and flourish.
