Kindergarten

Uniform

Students are ambassadors for the College and are expected to wear their uniform with pride. The students are encouraged to understand that the uniform identifies them as members of the Arndell College Community. Encouraging your children to value their uniform will prove helpful in developing the high personal standard.

The College hat is an essential element of the uniform for all Junior School students. Kindergarten students must wear a hat before school, at recess, lunch play and during outdoor lessons at school. Students are also required to wear the Arndell sport socks with a red and blue stripe for sport and PE sessions. These can also be purchased from the Uniform Shop. In addition to the school uniform, Kindergarten students are required to wear aprons. Aprons are sent home on Fridays to be washed and are returned on Mondays. We would reiterate the need to have all uniform and personal items clearly named. Please see further information in the General Information Tab in regards to Uniform. 

Homework

Homework is intentionally planned to align with the teaching and learning occurring in class. It provides an excellent opportunity for students to consolidate their learning and skill development. Homework will run on a weekly cycle from Friday to the following week Thursday.

A Homework Grid will be accessible via Seesaw on Friday. Homework will consist of reading and Hot Words practice. Reading is to be done daily and registered by a parent/carer in the My Home Reading book. Home readers and the My Home Reading book are to be returned to school on Thursday.

We reiterate the need for reading practice to be consistent and encourage parents to make it an enjoyable experience. Home readers will come home on Friday to be returned the following week Thursday.

Information Technology

The College’s commitment to the iPad one to one initiative, provides an exciting opportunity for learning. Students in K-2 students utilise Applications to reinforce concepts explored in class and to publish work. There are very strict guidelines and policies in place for using any technological devices provided by the school and these can be found in the General Information tab.
