I am delighted to welcome you and your child to the Metella Road Public School community! Starting Kindergarten is a significant and exciting milestone, and here at Metella Road Public School, we feel privileged to be part of your child’s learning journey.
At Metella Road Public School, we pride ourselves on being a nurturing, inclusive, and vibrant school where every child is known, valued, and cared for. Our dedicated and passionate staff create a warm and engaging environment where students feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn every day.
We believe that strong foundations build lifelong learners. In Kindergarten, your child will explore new ideas, develop important social skills, and build early literacy and numeracy knowledge through rich and meaningful learning experiences. Our classrooms are filled with curiosity, creativity, and joy as we foster confidence and independence in every learner.
What makes our school truly special is our strong sense of community. We work in partnership with families to ensure every child thrives academically, socially, and emotionally. From exciting school events and assemblies to fun-filled learning activities and celebrations, there are many opportunities to be involved and share in your child’s success.
We can’t wait to begin this exciting chapter with you and look forward to welcoming you into our school family. Together, we will ensure your child’s start to school is filled with happiness, discovery, and growth.

If parents haven't already completed the enrolment process, we urge them to finalise their enrolment application. Parents can begin the process by enrolling online at https://metellard-p.schools.nsw.gov.au/about-our-school/enrolment.html and then are asked to contact the school to arrange a time to present their original documents for validation.
We aim to provide all of our students with a positive start to school. This includes:
developing secure, respectful and reciprocal relationships.
maintaining rich conversations between children, teachers, families and the community.
setting high expectations and equity for every child.
recognising and acknowledging students' cultural diversity.
collaborating with early childhood services and external agencies.
building on the knowledge, skills and interests of all children.
having a deep understanding of how young children learn.
We offer an extensive orientation program at Metella Road Public School to make your child's transition to 'big school' as easy as possible.
Invitations to our Orientation Days will be emailed to parents. Visits will run for approximately 90 minutes and your child will have the opportunity to join their future classmates in a range of exciting Kindergarten activities in the classroom. This helps students become more familiar with the type of activities they will be doing when they start school, the layout of the school and its amenities and staff members.
More information regarding this event will come out shortly.
Additionally, we will be holding a special Kindergarten 2026 Expo in our school hall, providing parents with in-depth information about how to support their child as they transition to big school.
This will take place on Tuesday, 28 October 2025 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. It is such a wonderful time to learn more about school processes and meet other Kindergarten 2026 parents.
We look forward to your company!!
