OPEN DAY

Our school invites parents and children looking to enrol or starting school in 2025 to our Open Morning. 

KINDERGARTEN 2025 PARENT INFORMATION EVENING

Monday 4 November 2024

The evening will provide parents with more specific information about kindergarten curriculum, classroom routines, KindiStart and Best Start sessions.

KINDISTART ORIENTATION SESSIONS

2024 Session Dates 

We would like your child to visit the school for 3 Kindistart sessions:

3 Sessions:  Tuesday 5 November, Tuesday 12 November and Tuesday 19 November - 9:15am to 10:45am

OR
Thursday 7 November, Thursday 14 November and Thursday 21 November - 9:15am to 10:45am 

For some children this will be their first contact with school while others, with older siblings, will find it a familiar environment. For all the children, this visit will mark the first time they are expected to be a "school child". We want it to be a happy experience and one where they develop positive feelings about their new school.

During their KindiStart visits your child will be encouraged to participate in some simple activities with other new Kindergarten children. Please try to prepare your child for these brief periods of separation. To help the children become independent we ask parents not to stay.
