Kindergarten 2025

Individual Parent “Meet and Greet” with the Principal

Please contact the school if you have not had or do not yet have an appointment for your individual appointment with our Principal, Mrs Penny Chow.  These are being made with parents of students enrolled for Kindergarten 2025.  Your child does not need to attend but is welcome. This is an opportunity to meet the principal, and for you to ask questions, to discuss what your child likes, and how we can best support them.  30 minute duration.

Sighting Evidence

For every child, we need to sight originals (paper or electronically on your phone) of the birth certificate, and the 100 points of proof of address. This needs to be done before they start school. It is a good opportunity when attending some of the orientation events, to pop into the office to do this – or any time during school hours.

Kindergarten Story Book

Kindergarten Story Book

We have written a story book!  Be sure to read the "My New School" social story for children starting Kindergarten next year.  It is a great story to read with your children over and over before they start school.

Important resources:

  • School Calendar - bookmark this page!
  • General School Information Book with information about teaching staff, bell times, uniforms, canteen, P&C, communication, etc.
  • See the For parents page on the school website for other general school information.
  • We use School Bytes for payments and excursion permissions, but cannot set you up until after your child has started at school.  See the "Make a Payment" tab on the SWRPS website for more information about the School Bytes.  Once started at school, please contact school if you need help with setup.  Online payment is always preferred, but you can also pay by cash or EFTPOS at the office.
