Our Kindergarten program
Kindergarten is more than preparation for school. It's the start of a learning journey where children are known, loved and encouraged to develop their God-given potential from 3 years old right through to Year 12.
Structured through a series of informal and directed play–based activities, our Kinder children learn how to listen to instructions, make friendships, share, be honest, add to their own knowledge and grow as learners. It is through their innate curiosity, exploration and engagement with peers and educators that children begin to make sense of God’s world and the valuable part they play within their community.
To help our children develop into successful and confident learners, they will be immersed in environments that encourage them to explore multiple perspectives and ways of working. We encourage play-based learning where children will engage in nature play, indoor/outdoor play, song and dance, messy play and games, all within a Christian learning environment. Children also learn Maths, Literacy, Science, French, Music and PE basics.

Values
The excitement of our current Kindergarten students is often reflected through the laughter and chatter you hear as you approach our purpose-built Kindergarten rooms. Their zeal and enthusiasm as they learn and play with staff and other students is often contagious.
We strive to create a healthy learning environment where our students are loved, cared for and respected as individuals who belong to different, diverse communities. We believe that children begin to know who they are and what they can achieve by Believing, Belonging and Becoming the person God created them to be.
