Pre-Kindergarten Start their School Journey – Term 1 Overview

The start of the year has been filled with excitement, curiosity and celebration in Pre‑Kindergarten, as our youngest students take their very first steps into school life.

This term marked the first official day of school for our five‑day Pre‑Kindergarten students. The girls arrived with excitement and pride, ready to begin their learning journey. After farewells, they quickly settled into their day, enjoying hands‑on activities and getting to know their peers and educators in their new environment.

The following week, we were delighted to welcome our three‑day students, bringing the full Pre‑Kindergarten cohort together. It has been wonderful to see new friendships forming as students confidently engaged in a wide range of activities both inside and outside the studio. The girls are becoming increasingly familiar with their daily routines and are already demonstrating growing independence, resilience and a love of learning. They have also enjoyed meeting their Specialist Teachers and participating in gross motor, fine motor, literacy and numeracy experiences.

A special milestone for our Pre‑Kindergarten students was being officially welcomed into their School Houses and meeting their Junior School House Patrons for the very first time. This moment helped foster a strong sense of belonging within the wider school community, and we look forward to seeing their creativity shine at upcoming Junior School events, including the Cardboard Challenge.

The students also embraced Harmony Week with enthusiasm, learning about diversity, respect and inclusivity through play‑based experiences. They explored similarities and differences, shared what they could learn from one another, and enjoyed stories, songs and videos that celebrated belonging. Wearing orange ribbons and decorating hands with vibrant orange designs was a highlight, with their artwork proudly displayed in the Pre‑Kindergarten studio.

The term ended on a magical note with a Pre‑Kindergarten Easter Egg Hunt. Convinced the Easter Bunny had quietly visited while no one was looking, the children delighted in searching the playground for colourful hidden eggs. The joy, laughter and sense of wonder captured the spirit of Easter and created a memorable shared experience for all.

What a special start to the year it has been. We look forward to a year filled with growth, discovery and joyful learning.
