Kindergarten Graduation 

We are excited to announce that the Kindergarten Graduation will be held on Monday, 16 December, from 9:00 to 11:00 am.

This will be a special time to celebrate the learning, growth, and joy our students have experienced throughout the year. We warmly invite all families and friends to join us for this memorable occasion.

On this special day, students should come to school wearing their school pants or skort along with their white Christmas shirt, which they will receive early next week.

This is a wonderful milestone for our little graduates, and we can’t wait to share this memorable occasion with all of you all.

Christmas Cards 

We encourage children to exchange Christmas cards at this joyful time of the year.  Please refrain from including candy canes, chocolates, lollies or other treats with cards.  We thank you for your assistance.

Step-Up Day for Kindergarten 2024

A huge thank you to all our wonderful children and parents for being so accommodating during the Kindergarten 2025 transition days!

Our Kindergarten 2024 students had an amazing time at Step-Up Day, embracing the excitement of new experiences and sharing so many fun stories about their morning in Year 1. It was heartwarming to see their enthusiasm and readiness for what lies ahead.

Christmas Carols 

Next Thursday night (12th December), we will be celebrating with our Christmas Carols! 🎄✨

The event will take place on the basketball courts and will start at 6:00 PM. We kindly ask that students wear denim or black pants/skirts paired with their white Kindergarten Christmas shirts, which they will receive early next week. We can't wait for the students to see these special shirts!

The children are so excited to show you their performance—they’ve been working hard and can’t wait to spread some Christmas cheer. We look forward to seeing you all there!
