Hands up if your child is off to big school next year!  

If so, a little preparation will go a long way, and we’re not just talking about stationery supplies and school shoes.

During the webinar, Dr Kaylene will provide expert advice to help your family make a smooth and confident transition to school. 

She will share: 

  • Tips to build familiarity with what’s to come
