Kindergarten

Our Kindergarten students are extremely fortunate to receive weekly instruction in the areas of Music, Visual Art, Physical Education, Italian, Literature Appreciation and Digital Technology.

These lessons are taught by members of staff who specialise in these particular subjects and occur in addition to regular instruction in other Key Learning Areas of the curriculum including Religion, Mathematics, English, Geography/History, Science and Personal Development and Health, all of which are taught by the Kindergarten teachers.

Attending these specialist lessons not only provides opportunities for our students to acquire necessary knowledge and skills in the relevant subject areas, but also teaches them the importance of maintaining appropriate behaviour in different contexts across the school.

Another significant outcome of attending weekly lessons with a range of teachers, is the development of the students’ social skills and resilience, as they learn to interact with additional members of staff and adapt to physical spaces beyond their immediate classroom environment. 

While the Kindergarten students are in the trusted and capable hands of these experts in their respective subject areas, their class teachers are engaged in team meetings and planning sessions. Feedback and input received from the specialist teachers supports this planning and creates a culture of collaboration among staff, which in turn ensures the best possible learning experiences for our students.

The Kindergarten students have formed warm relationships with their specialist teachers and look forward to participating in their lessons every week!
