Kindergarten

A message from Early Stage 1

Welcome back to Term 2. We are excited for another busy and fun-filled term ahead. This term, we’ll be starting our home reading program to support your child’s learning at home. Don’t forget, Friday 1 May is our K-2 Cross Country, a great opportunity for the kids to wear their house colours, get active and have fun. We’re looking forward to a fantastic term together!
