Your child's first day of school will be

Wednesday 3rd February, 2027

Kindergarten students will meet in the school hall at 9am to start their first day of school. Please collect your child's badge at the back of the hall and help your child line up in their class line.

Our usual school hours are 9:00am - 3:00pm.

Kindergarten start at 9:00am each day and will finish their day at 2:45pm for the first couple of weeks. 

 Students will spend their first few days getting to know the school environment and their peers. 

They will engage in activities such as a school tour, literacy based play, numeracy based play & free play. 

During recess and lunch breaks students will play in a special Kindergarten only area for the first few weeks of school. This allows them time to develop friendships with peers rather than relying on siblings or other known students. It also provides a comfortable place to play without being overwhelmed by the main playground spaces. After two or three weeks they are then introduced to the large playgrounds for play time. 

Permanent classes for Kindergarten 2027 will not be confirmed for a few weeks. This allows teachers to get to know the cohort of students well before finalising our classes for the year.

Students will be placed in classes based on numbers of girls and boys, combinations of personalities and support networks. 

During January, before your child starts school, allow them time to practise opening and closing their school bag, pulling out a lunch box or container and opening it. Developing some independence early on can boost their confidence at school by providing them with the skills to manage their own belongings without needing to wait for a teacher to help. 

If possible it is a good idea to pack recess and lunch in separate containers, however many students now come to school with a bento style lunch box which contains most or all of their food for the day. We understand that this can be easier for parents when packing and organising children each day.
