KINDERGARTEN

Our Kindergarten students for 2023 have settled into school with confidence and big smiles! Mrs Lyon and Miss Caldon are very impressed in how well they have all settled into their class and are learning the routines of school. Students are making new friends and are enjoying the time with their Year 6 buddies.

Our Kindergarten students are very excited to wear their House shirts and you will be notified of their House colours as soon as they are allocated.
