Kinder 2013

Enrolments are now being taken for Kindergarten 2013.

When to start school

Your child can start Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year if they turn five on or before 31st July in that year. By law, all children must be enrolled in school by their sixth birthday.

When to start your child at school is an individual decision. You may want to discuss this with us or with your child's preschool teacher, carer or doctor.

Transition to school

Starting kindergarten is an important milestone in every child's life. A smooth transition to school lays the foundation for positive experiences in a new and stimulating environment.
Our Transition to School program provides you and your child with the opportunity to experience a variety of school activities. These activities are designed to familiarise you both with our school and to ease the stress that is felt by many children and parents at this time.
