Welcome to Kindergarten

Hello and Welcome to the Kindy Class of 2020!

I am Mrs Tania Kealley and I will be Room 1’s Class Teacher. Mrs Danyelle Sutherland will be the Class Teacher on Wednesday. Mrs Sarah Belcher will be the Education Assistant in Room 1. We are so excited to be teaching your child this year. Welcome back to families who have other children at Wattle Grove Primary and a warm welcome to those who are new to the school. We are looking forward to a productive year with our 2020 Kindergarten students.

It is wonderful to see children settling into the routines at school and developing a love of learning.  Starting school is a big step for children (and parents) so please don’t hesitate to speak with us if you have questions, concerns or information you would like to share.

A few Kindergarten details for your information:

Our Room has two groups

1. BLUE GROUP attends school on MONDAYS and THURSDAYS and ALTERNATE WEDNESDAYS (odd school weeks e.g. week 1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
2. RED GROUP attends school on TUESDAYS and FRIDAYS and ALTERNATE WEDNESDAYS (even school weeks e.g. week 2, 4, 6, 8, 10)

• School times on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are 8.45am to 3.05pm. On Tuesday school finishes early at 2.30pm.
• The classroom doors will open at 8.30am. If you arrive prior to 8.30am you must wait outside the classroom with your child.
• If someone other than yourself is picking your Kindergarten child up, we will need a written note on the day or ring and inform the front office who will pass on the information to us. If this is going to be a regular arrangement (e.g. grandparents, day care, family friend) you will need to add their names to your child’s contact list at the office).
• Each day your child will need to bring recess and lunch, a drink bottle of water (no cordial or juice please).
• Students are not to bring toys to school, unless it is required for an activity.

We are looking forward to getting to know you all.
