Kindergarten

A message from Early Stage 1

It was great to see so many of our Kindergarten families at the P & C Welcome barbeque earlier this term. The P & C are an amazing group and are always looking for new members to help support the school at various functions and fund raising events throughout the year.

Thank you to all the parents who have made an appointment for the parent/teacher interviews next week. For those parents who are not able to make an appointment time, please contact the school office. Please remember that educating your child is a team effort and keeping in contact with your child’s teacher is important. The best way to contact your child’s teacher is by email and they will respond as soon as they can.

There will be a hat parade on Wednesday 9 April. Hats will be made at school by the students from recycled materials. Further information about the day will be forthcoming via school bytes.
