The early childhood educational program is planned throughout the year around the individual child’s needs and developmental growth. Teachers plan engaging, challenging and supportive learning programs that give children every opportunity to learn by building on existing knowledge, skills and interests.
The program is based on intentionally planned play-based learning activities. Activities are designed around clear learning outcomes including early literacy and numeracy, social and emotional development and a developing sense of being, becoming and belonging. The Early Years Learning Framework and Australian Curriculum guide what we expect students to achieve in the early years.
Full cooperation between parents and staff can help your child enjoy and experience a happy, stable and rich learning environment. We are looking forward to working and sharing these experiences with your child in the coming year.
Kindergarten and Pre primary children are able to order LUNCHES ONLY from our school canteen. Please place your lunch order bag (available from the school canteen) into the canteen basket located inside your classroom at the start of the day. Remember to clearly label the order with your child’s name and class number. A menu will be sent home with the school newsletter. Kindy children usually start ordering lunches from around mid term 1 once the class has established routines.
Please note the canteen is open every day.
Please be aware of the following points which apply to Kindy and Pre primary children when ordering from the canteen:
As Kindergarten and Pre Primary are often the first big steps away from home for a child, it is very important that there are strong communication links between parents and the school.
You can make a positive contribution to your child’s year by:
If you have younger children, we would prefer you made other arrangements for their care while you are on roster, however, if you cannot, we would rather have you in here with them, than not at all.
Please refer the Port Kennedy Primary School Information Booklet for more information on the organisation of our wonderful school.
