Orientation
We hold two orientations, one day time and one night time, to introduce parents and future students to our fabulous school. Orientation is to give parents, carers and children general information about our school, introduce executive staff, Kindergarten teachers, parents and citizens' association and register students for our Kinderstart Program. The day orientation will also provide a chance to look around the school.
Please register for the KinderStart Program at the orientation.
KinderStart Program
Best Start
The Best Start Kindergarten Assessment helps teachers identify literacy and numeracy knowledge and skills that each child will bring to school, to inform our teaching and learning programs. This will take approximately one hour and will take place with one of the kindergarten teachers in their classroom during the first week of school.
A letter will be sent in mid December, from student enrolment forms, to inform parents and students of the date and time of student's BESTSTART testing time. If the date or time is not suitable please ring the school office to make adjustments Ph: 4443 0546
First Day of School
The first day for Kindergarten will be Monday 5th February 2018. Parents can please make your way to the school hall where students will be told who their teacher will be for the year. Teachers will show students to their classrooms and parents will be able to say a quick 'goodbye'.
In the afternoon it would be good if parents are able to come to the classroom to collect their child from 2.55pm, until students get into a good pattern of waiting for parents.
