Kindy Transition
Today we welcomed so many happy little faces for their kindy transition in preparation for their start to big school in 2027. Kindergarten is getting a remarkable group of thinkers, dreamers and kind friends. Watching young children make the big leap from preschool to kindergarten is such a special, milestone moment.
They may still be small, but they are stepping into kindergarten with big hearts, bright minds, and endless curiosity.
