An Independent Public School

Our Kindergarten program operates 5 days per fortnight. Three days one week, two days on the alternative week throughout the school term. We have two Kindergarten groups, Kindy A on Monday and Tuesday and Kindy B on Thursday and Friday with alternating Wednesdays between both Kindergarten classes.

​

The children are exposed to a balanced curriculum, which promotes important social and emotional skills, whilst developing early maths, speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.

In this carefully planned learning environment, your child experiences many different learning activities in order for them to thrive. These activities include cutting, painting, gluing, using manipulatives such as play dough and rice, sand and water play, dressing up, climbing, storytelling, singing, dancing, exploring and social activities, such as making new friends.

The social and emotional development of your child is an essential part of our planned learning. Their teacher plans activities and encourages them to be involved so that they become successful learners, team players, effective problem solvers and creative thinkers who enjoy challenges.

There is a strong focus on language and literacy in our Kindergarten learning environment. Your child will develop an understanding of letters, sounds and words, as well as how pictures can tell stories, how written words can be read, and how spoken sounds can be written down.

Learning about maths and numeracy is also a key part of Kindergarten. Your child will learn that maths is everywhere in their school and home environment as they develop their knowledge of numbers, shapes, colours, counting and measurement. Your child will learn that maths is fun as they explore and make connections in these areas.

The teachers understand that every child is unique and come to school with a myriad of interests, prior experiences and knowledge. Your child will develop a love of learning as they work and explore in a safe and nurturing learning environment as they build the strong foundations for a successful learning journey.
