Uniform Orders

Orders are now open via Compass Tix for purchasing of uniform items. All items are available however we often find this is a good time to purchase a windcheater if you haven’t already for the coming winter.  You will find samples of the uniform items in the foyer at the kinder.

Click the link below to access Compass Tix to purchase.

Colour Run

We are super excited about the colour run on the 22nd of March with Waratah and Wattle groups!  The children will all be given a white tshirt to wear on the day, but you may like to dress them in old shorts/pants and shoes.  The colour does wash out, but just in case!

If you do not wish for your child to participate we have arrangements in place so please let your child's teacher know.

Please see the Principals page for more information.

Digital Sign In Sign Out 

A reminder that all authorised nominees need to have their own PIN to sign the children in and out of the service.  Please DO NOT share your PIN with others for using on the iPad.  The PIN and phone number you enter is unique to you and records in our system who it was that picked up and dropped off your child that day.  It is a legal requirement that we maintain these records. This is why each person needs to have their own PIN to access the system, so it registered that it was that person who did drop off or collect your child. 

Ideally the person who is dropping off or picking up physically signs in or out on the iPad for this reason, however on occasion it is fine for staff to complete this on your behalf.  They will record who it was by entering the information manually.

Water Safety Incursion

Our 4 YO groups had an interactive information session on Water Safety last week.  The children learned about staying safe near all types of water, while still having lots of FUN!!   The children really enjoyed the song they learned, we are sure they came home singing it for you all!

Welcome Picnics

From all accounts the welcome picnics the groups have held over the past couple of weeks have been a great success! We are looking forward to Banksia’s on Tuesday 19th March still!

Thank you to everyone who came along.  It was a great opportunity to chat with the staff in a more informal way, meet some of the children your child has been talking about at home and get to know some other parents.  Kinder is a special time for our children, but it is also a vital place for parents to build their village to assist in raising their children. Having other parents, you know with the same age child for support is important for our mental health.  These could be the people your child is with for the many years to come.  Many lifelong friendships have been established for children and adults through kindergarten meets!!
