KINDERGARTEN SESSION TIMES
4 year old morning group (the year before attending school)
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday – 8.45 am to 12.00 noon
Thursday – 8.45 am to 2.00 pmThursday Lunch Program
Children are to bring a healthy lunch and drink.
Please put your child’s lunch and drink in a clearly-named lunchbox and place on the lunch trolley. The lunches will be placed in the refrigerator. Morning tea is to be left in your child’s bag. Our kindergarten is committed to being “eco-friendly”, so please minimise food packaging where possible (see our environment policy for more information).
We regularly have “international lunch days” (eg. Russian, Hungarian, Italian) during which a particular country’s cuisine is showcased for the children to enjoy. Look out for “international lunch day” notices in the kinder newsletters.
We also have a wonderful community vegetable and herb garden outside the church, set up by the Simply Living Project. The children and parents are always welcome to visit and help with the garden.
3 year old afternoon group
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday – 1.15pm to 3.15pm
Children pick-up and drop-off
The kindergarten session always finishes with a storytime to prepare the children for going home.
If you need to collect your child before the end of the session, please do so fifteen minutes before finishing time unless it is absolutely necessary. It is hard to keep the group settled and concentrating with people going in and out the room.
In the interests of children’s health and safety, parents are requested to use off-street parking - not the Church grounds - for parking their cars. Our duty of care necessitates requesting that once children are collected, parents and children need to leave the kinder premises by 12.15 pm (morning group) and 3.30 pm (afternoon group) as the gate is locked thereafter.
