Kindergarten

Our kindergarten program is designed to provide a joyful and enriching start to your child’s educational journey. With a strong focus on explicit teaching in reading and numeracy, we ensure that every child builds a solid foundation in these essential skills. Our dedicated teachers are passionate and highly trained, creating a nurturing environment where each child feels supported and encouraged to explore their potential. Throughout the year, children participate in a variety of fun events and activities that promote creativity, social skills, and a love of learning. We are committed to preparing our students with the confidence and knowledge they need for a successful transition into their schooling years.

Our school runs orientation and transition activities to help your child feel ready for Kindergarten and to support you as parents and carers.

Read the Getting ready for primary school guide for detailed tips and checklists.

Kindergarten orientation and information sessions

Our orientation sessions help children:

• meet teachers and classmates
• explore classrooms and playgrounds
• practise simple routines

Parents and carers join information sessions to learn about daily schedules, uniforms, lunches and communication. If you need an interpreter, let us know.

Getting ready at home

You can help your child get ready by encouraging independence and routines. Try:

• packing and unpacking their school bag
• dressing themselves and practising hygiene
• following simple routines at home.

For more advice, see the Getting ready for primary school guide.

What to expect in Kindergarten

Learning and development

Kindergarten follows the NSW curriculum. Children build early skills in literacy, numeracy, creative arts, health and physical activity, science and technology. Learning through play also supports social, emotional and academic growth.

Daily routines

Children learn routines such as morning arrival, snack and lunch breaks, lining up, using bubblers and moving safely around the school. Teachers guide children as they settle in, but practising at home helps.

Best Start Assessment

At the start of the year, all Kindergarten children take part in the Best Start Assessment. This is a friendly, one-on-one activity where teachers learn about your child’s literacy and numeracy skills. It is not a test and needs no preparation.
