Kindergarten

A message from Early Stage 1

Our classrooms have been buzzing with excitement as we count to the 100th day of Kindergarten, and the big celebration is almost here! Please join us on Tuesday, 29 July (Term 3, Week 2) for this special event. You are invited to visit your child's classroom starting at 10:30am, followed by a cake cutting. Students are encouraged to dress up as what they would like to be when they grow up, showcasing their dreams and aspirations. We look forward to celebrating with you!
