Kindergarten

The Kindergarten students have experienced an exciting start to Term 3! 

In Mathematics, they have engaged in a variety of hands-on investigations to discover the mass and volume of different objects and containers.

In English lessons, a specific focus has been dedicated to developing the students’ oral language and communication skills. This is being achieved through activities such as ‘Think, Pair, Share’, during which the students sit face to face with a partner and take turns sharing their responses to literature or recounting personal experiences.

Last Friday, the Kindergarten students joined the College Community in celebrating the Feast Day of St Dominic. They enjoyed learning about St Dominic and his family in the weeks leading up to this special event and demonstrated reverence and exemplary behaviour during mass held on the senior campus. Following mass, the students reflected further on the life of St Dominic and created their own artistic impressions of him and his childhood home in Caleruega, Spain.

To acknowledge Grandparents Day on Tuesday, the Kindergarten students were excited to perform a song for their grandparents before welcoming them into their learning spaces to proudly share their learning with them.

Despite the obvious joy experienced during these occasions, the highlight of the year to date for our Kindergarten students was the special celebration marking their 100th day of school! 

The theme of this milestone event was ‘100 Days Brighter’ and the colourful outfits worn by both the students and their teachers were a fitting reflection of this. 

The day commenced with a liturgy celebrated in the Del Monte hall, followed by a range of fun activities relating specifically to the number 100. The students shared this special occasion with their parents and the events concluded with a picnic-style morning tea enjoyed by students, parents and members of staff.

We look forward to seeing our students continuing to flourish in both their learning and friendships, as the semester progresses.
