Andrews Creek Primary School
A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL EVENTS
Congratulations to all Kinder students for their magnificent start to their first year Tuesday 30 March
of formal schooling. It has been exciting watching our Kinder students flourish
and grow in so many ways in such a short time as they settle into life at school. Wheels Day
Older siblings and cousins have also been super excited to have their younger Wednesday 31 March
sibling/cousin at school. We regularly see older students congregating around
Last Day Term 1
the Kinder gate at break times, chatting to our Kinder students. Our Kinder
structure looks slightly different this year than in previous years, with 32 Kinder Wednesday 21 April
children coming across the week, which means we have different children in the
First Day Term 2
class each day. Ms Fenlon has been working in the Kinder this term to help with
the Kinder transition and will be working in other classes next term. Monday 26 April
ANZAC Day Service
Listed below are a few examples of things our Kinder students have been doing
so well: School Association AGM
• Separating confidently from their parent/carer (which is sometimes harder
7pm
for parent/carer than the child); Tues 27 - Fri 30 April
• Confidently coming to the office with an adult to deliver a message or STAR
Fire Education Program
card ;
• Transitioning from their Kinder classroom to PE, Music and Library (such a
big adventure leaving the classroom);
• Learning about and following school expectations and routines. Simple
things we take for granted, such as lining up and sitting on the floor quietly,
are such a big achievement for our little people;
• Meeting and making new friends;
• Persevering to complete a task, especially when all they want to do is play;
• Interacting with a range of adults at school. We always have two staff
members allocated to Kinder duty at recess and lunch times that varies
each day, so they have had a lot of new faces to get to know.
