Partial Enrolment

 

Langley Primary School facilitates partial enrolment.

 

Partial enrolment combines school and home education by enrolling your child at a registered school for certain subjects or activities.

 

Parents/guardians/caregivers arrange partial enrolment with school as a ‘partnership’.

 

Partial enrolment enables students to attend school 2-4 days a week, and teachers can make suggestions on what to supplement or add to a students schooling in terms of home education.

 

Information from the Victorian Government can be accessed here.

 

If you are interested in partial orenrollment  have any questions we are holding an Information Night on Wednesday 14 May 2025 from 6 - 6.30pm.

Alternatively you can call the school on on 03 5423 4125 or email langley.ps@education.vic.gov.au

 

 

School Readiness 

Welcome to Langley Primary School's School Readiness Program for Preschoolers.

Our definition of preschoolers includes any child aged 4 and up who are not yet enrolled in school.

 

We facilitate 1.5 - 3 hour programs that give preschoolers a short school experience of 'big school'.

Our next scheduled program will be held on Tuesday 18 November 2025 from 10.30 - 1.30pm.

 

We support 'part-time' schooling which enables students to attend school 2-4 days a week, with suggestions on what to supplement or add to a student's schooling in terms of home education/homeschooling.

 

Our program includes:

  • A tour of our school
  • Practise listening to teacher instruction 
  • Lining up for class
  • A model lesson including phonics and match-up activities
  • Recess play - group games
  • Trying on a school uniform
  • What to pack in a school bag (getting ready for school competition races)
  • How to make friends tutorial etc 

What is meant by school readiness? 

 

The Government describes school readiness as, 'A measure of the knowledge, skills and behaviours that enable children to participate and succeed in school'.

It's about the development of the whole child (not just their academic ability), and school readiness includes the follwing skills and capabilities:

  • Social skills, e.g. a child's ability to play independently and in a group, assert themselves and show basic manners
  • Emotional maturity, e.g. being able to focus on tasks, follow instructions and manage their emotions
  • Language skills, e.g. a child's ability to talk and listen to others, communicate their needs, understand stories and start to identify some letters and sounds
  • Cognitive skills, e.g. a child possessing basic number sense and thinking skills, and being able to take turns and wait
  • Physical health, fine motor skills and coordination, e.g. being able to grip a pencil, turn book pages, run, jump, climb, and play ball and
  • Independence, e.g. a child's ability to go to the toilet without a grown-up, unwrap their lunch, and manage their belongings and clothing.
