Kindergarten students enrolling for the 2024 school year will participate in Best Start Kindergarten during the first week of school and commence in class on the 7 February, 2024.
The Best Start assessment will take approximately 30 minutes and each child will be given a specific time for their own assessment. A short review of the Best Start information will follow directly after the interview.

Kindy Start is a school orientation program where students starting Kindergarten can come to school one morning a week for 5 weeks (October/November, 2023) to experience what 'Big School' is like.
When you enrol your child at the school, you will also be asked to enrol for our Kindy Start sessions.
Kindergarten is an important year of schooling as children formally begin to develop their literacy and numeracy skills. Our whole school community will help your child adjust to school and help them to feel comfortable.
Your child can start Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year if they turn five on or before 31 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.
We have a set of planned activities to assist your child to make a smooth transition to Kindergarten. Research indicates that children who settle quickly into school are more likely to be socially competent and achieve better results. Contact us to find out about our activities and how you can be involved.
You can help your child prepare for Kindergarten and be organised for the first day. Watch what happens on a typical day in Kindergarten classrooms. Visit our school to help your child feel more comfortable and to start getting to know people there.
