Horsham’s St Brigid’s College kicked off the week on Sunday with an open day.
Horsham Primary School and Stawell Primary School will open their doors to prospective students and families on Wednesday, while Horsham College will host a maths Olympics with grade six students from most of the city’s primary schools.
Horsham Primary School principal Chris Walter said Education Week was a chance to show families what the school had to offer.
“Wednesday is an open day for new families in 2017, which includes a prep information session about what we do and a tour of the school,” he said.
“After that we have an open session for current families on Friday.
“It is an opportunity for them to engage in leaning with the students.
“The focus will be on our CAFE reading work, and we encourage parents to join in and read with students.
“That starts at 10am, followed by morning tea at 10.45am.”
Horsham West Primary School and Haven Primary School will also host open sessions on Thursday, while Horsham College will host its chaplaincy book fair on Friday.
Horsham’s Holy Trinity Lutheran School will host performances of their musical Joseph on Thursday.
Students will have a final dress rehearsal on Wednesday before shows the following day at 1.45pm and 7.30pm.
National Walk Safely to School Day will help mark the end of Education Week on Friday.
