CLASS REQUIREMENTS FOR KINDERGARTEN - YEAR 6

All students will need to bring the following class requirements with them on their first day of school:

Students who will in be in Yrs 2-6 in 2021 will require their own device.

The requirements that the school suggests are that the device has a good battery life, wireless wi-fi and the preference would be for a laptop or chrome book rather than a tablet. Somewhere in the middle price range – not cheap and nasty but not top of the line as there really is not a need to spend a lot of money. Windows 10 S machines can be troublesome, however it is suggested that Google chrome is the browser for your device.

If purchasing a laptop for your child is going to place financial pressure on the family, we ask that you contact Mrs Beavan to discuss. There will be chrome books available for students to use until such time a laptop can be purchased. Please let me know if you have any queries about this, happy to help out.

Kindergarten will commence on Monday 1st February, 2021

They will have rest days on Wednesdays for the month of February.  If you have any queries please contact the office.

Wednesday 3rd, 10th, 17th & 24th.
