Kindergarten operates to the school term dates set by the Department of Education

Starting Kindergarten
  • Orientation Day: Parent/s or special person and child attend for an hour and a half. The children can have a play both indoors and outside, supervised by the educator. This is a great opportunity to speak to the teachers.
     

  • Staggered sessions: A modified timetable operates for the first couple of weeks. Only half the class attends each session and times are shorter to allow the children time to adjust to the full program.
