Starting Kindergarten
Starting school is a big step for children and families. Our school runs orientation and transition activities to help your child feel ready for Kindergarten and to support you as parents and carers.
Read the Getting ready for primary school guide for detailed tips and checklists.
Enrolment process
Our friendly and committed teachers are ready to assist you every step of the enrolment journey, making it as easy and welcoming as possible. Whether you have questions or need guidance with the required steps, we aim to ensure your transition into our school community is smooth and confident. Feel free to get in touch—we’re always happy to help!
Before your child starts school, all families meet with a member of our executive team. This meeting provides an opportunity to share important information, including:
- any medical conditions or allergies
- learning support needs
- family circumstances that may impact your child’s transition
Our priority is to ensure every child feels safe, supported and included from the very beginning.
Once enrolment is finalised, your child will be invited to take part in transition sessions at school. Our transition program gives children the opportunity to:
- get to know various teachers and classmates
- become familiar with the classroom and playground
- practise everyday school routines

Getting ready for school
You can support your child’s readiness for school by building independence and establishing simple routines. You might encourage them to:

What to expect in Kindergarten
Learning and development
Kindergarten follows the NSW curriculum. Children build early skills in literacy, numeracy, creative arts, health and physical activity, science and technology. Learning through play also supports social, emotional and academic growth.
Daily routines
Children learn routines such as morning arrival, snack and lunch breaks, lining up, using bubblers and moving safely around the school. Teachers guide children as they settle in, but practising at home helps.
Best Start Assessment
Children at the start of the year, all Kindergarten children take part in the Best Start Assessment. This is a friendly, one-on-one activity where teachers learn about your child’s literacy and numeracy skills. It is not a test and needs no preparation.
