mimi'smom Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Hi Dancingfeet  Elmhurst induction day last year was on a Saturday (I think possibly the last Saturday of term but would need to check that!) It was a very informal day with a relaxed atmosphere. The children went off in groups to get to know each other and house staff and had uniform fittings. Lunch is provided and there is the option to stay and watch the summer showcase. I don't remember any parent/teacher consultations so that could be a new thing this year or maybe because your dd is joining a year other than year 7. Will try and find my letter from last year to see if I've missed anything!  edited due to my clumsy fingers!!!!

mimi'smom Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hi dancing feet Found my letter from last year and there was also a welcome assembly for children and parents where we were introduced to key members of staff and the children had their photographs taken for their swipe cards.

Dancingfeet Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Thank you mini mum does it say what time on the letter as the last sat if same this year is same day as hammond last show which also dd is in so I'm just thinking of the logistics of doing both if elmhurst is morn could still work x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi'smom Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 It started at 9:30 and the actual induction was over before 2:30 as this was the time the summer show began (which is optional - we didn't stay for that last year as my dd had her school 'prom'.)Â Â xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
