Kindergarten teachers and students are currently involved with the state-wide Best Start Initiative. This initiative aims to support students and their learning in their first year of school.
This week, Kindergarten teachers have been undertaking assessments to observe and understand the literacy and numeracy skills of their students, in a one-to-one setting. These assessments will inform teachers about what their students already know, in order to develop effective learning programs that build upon existing student knowledge.

Teacher/parent interviews for Kindergarten families will occur this term, which will include feedback about your student’s Best Start results. A note will be distribute to arrange a meeting when this time is near.
