To our Preschool Families

We have reached the last month of the year, where has the time gone??

We can hardly believe that we will be saying goodbye to many of our Pre-schooler’s very soon. It has been a journey and we are proud of how far the Preschooler’s have come since the beginning of the year.

This final term of the year has been a busy time. We started off the term with our school focus program, including: lunchbox week, sibling talks and ‘bring your bag’ to the beach and school play area. It has been wonderful to see the children feeling excited about going to ‘big school,’ which is evident through our discussions and in their play.

The Preschooler’s who are completing an enrichment year of Preschool next year are being empowered to reflect on how much they have grown this year and to guide the Kinder 3 children transitioning to Preschool next year. This allows the children to take increasing responsibility to prepare how they can support and help the future Preschooler’s.

With a lot of excitement, it is completely normal to feel nervous and unsettled, about the unknown or change that is about to come. This can often translate to fluctuation in children’s behaviour and children feeling more emotional. We would like to reiterate that this is a normal part of transition and it will pass with time, so hang in there!

It was wonderful to be able to celebrate the Preschool children’s learning. Thank you to those who were able to come to our end of year celebration. We hope the Preschooler’s are proud of their achievements and can make memories of their time in Preschool.

The Preschool program finishes on the 20^th of December. If your child is finishing earlier please let a Preschool team member know to ensure your child’s portfolio is ready on their last day.

We would like to thank all the families for all your support. It has been our pleasure to work alongside you to support the children to grow and develop this year. We wish you all the best for next year!
