Additional information

Our site offers an inclusive program for children who need support with their learning and with accessibility. We embrace a multicultural community and celebrate our diversity.

All children can borrow books each week from the kindergarten library, which is located on the verandah on Wednesday and Thursday. Your child will need a fabric bag that's about 38cm square. If available, bags can be bought from the kindergarten for $3.

Each child will have an organised time to be part of our focus child program, including the chance for 'show and tell'. We'll let you know when it is your child's turn, and you can meet us to discuss learning outcomes.

We will celebrate a child’s special day with birthday songs and a card. If you want your child to bring a treat, please only send a fruit platter. We want to promote the importance of the day, not the party favour!

Please read our drop-off and pick-up procedure (PDF 81KB).
