Kindergarten

Welcome to Term 3. We hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable break. 

Friday 28 July will see us celebrating 100 Days of Kindergarten. The students are certainly getting very excited! Parents are invited to join us in our classrooms at 12:15 for students to showcase their learning.
