- put it in writing
- pay any exit fees
- check that any bond you've paid will be returned
- complete any paperwork.
Transitioning to primary school
If your child is starting primary school the following year, you’ll also have to:
- select and enrol your child in primary school
- take your child to any orientation activities at their new primary school.
