Step-Up Day for Kindergarten 2024

On Tuesday, 3rd December, our Kindergarten students will participate in Step-Up Day, spending a morning in Year 1 as part of their transition for 2024.

Students should still place their bags on the After School Care/Bali Room bag racks. When the morning bell rings, the Kindergarten teachers will guide the students to their new Year 1 classrooms.

This will be a morning filled with fun and joy, allowing the children to meet their new teachers and become familiar with their new learning environment.

We look forward to supporting this exciting step in their learning journey!
