2025 Enrolment forms

Information Night
The 4 YO groups had a visit from the dentist last week. All the children enjoyed sharing their experiences at the dentist and listening to the story with the Dental Nurse and Dentist. They were shown how to brush their teeth so that all their teeth are reached and looked after. The children who had their teeth checked were so happy to sit with the dentist and let them check their teeth, they all did such an amazing job!
Our 3 YO group (along with the staff and 4 YO children) absolutely loved having the bunnies come to stay! We were sad to say goodbye to the last week, but they are super happy to be going back to to farm and will be visiting lots more children at other kinders and events.
The children have learnt about how much effort goes into caring for them and what we need to do to keep them happy and healthy. The bunnies really loved all the lovely snacks the children brought into kinder for them too!
Halloween crafts, Diwali celebrations and activities, building and erupting volcanos and lots of nice weather for water play!!
