Kindergarten

As we draw near to the end of a truly memorable year in Kindergarten, our students have been joyfully celebrating their final weeks together with a series of special events and activities that highlight both their growth and their sense of community.

The Splash and Dash Swimming Carnival was a wonderful opportunity for the children to showcase their developing confidence in the water. Many demonstrated courage as they tried new races and cheered enthusiastically for their classmates. This event was not only about swimming but also about building resilience, teamwork, and pride in their achievements.

The Dominican Awards provided another meaningful moment, recognising students who have consistently embodied the values of kindness, perseverance, and a love of learning. These awards remind us of the many ways our Kindergarten children have grown – academically, socially, and spiritually – throughout the year.

The Advent Carols brought a beautiful sense of reverence and joy, as the children’s voices joined together in song to prepare our hearts for the coming of Christmas. Their participation in this tradition helped them reflect on the true meaning of the season and share that joy with the wider school community.

Alongside these celebrations, the children have delighted in completing festive craft activities, creating decorations and gifts that capture their creativity and excitement for Christmas. These moments of laughter and collaboration have been a fitting way to conclude their Kindergarten journey, strengthening friendships and leaving lasting memories.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our parents and families for the incredible support you have offered throughout the year. Your encouragement and partnership have been invaluable in helping each child flourish.

As we say farewell to Kindergarten for 2025, we wish all our students and families a safe, merry, and holy Christmas, filled with joy, rest, and special time together. We look forward to seeing the children continue their learning journey with confidence and enthusiasm in the year ahead.
