Pre-Prep Playgroup at St Agnes'

In 2023, we have introduced a Pre-Prep Playgroup for four-year-old kinder children and their younger siblings. Give your child a flying start to their primary schooling!

 

The goals of our Pre-Prep playgroup include:

  • To give kinder aged children an insight into the workings of a primary classroom

  • To establish a connection between local families and children

  • To connect families and children to our school grounds, staff and community

  • To enhance the transition program for our new Prep students

All children and families are welcome and it is free of charge. The sessions run from 9am-10am on the dates listed below. Parents are asked to stay with their child(ren) for the duration of the playgroup. The first half-hour will be a structured activity for the children in the classroom or hall, followed by time for play and engagement together in the playground or other school spaces.

The dates for Term Two are:

Monday 8th May, Wednesday 17th May, Monday 22nd May, Wednesday 31st May, Monday 5th June, Wednesday 14th June.
