Starting Kindergarten represents a big change for children. Anything you can do now will help to make your child’s entry to school a happy and enjoyable experience.

Before they start school, please encourage your child to learn to:

  • Put on and take off shoes (tying shoelaces, buckling and unbuckling shoes) and socks.
  • Use a handkerchief or tissue.
  • Recognise the difference between recess & lunch.
  • Feel happy without you for several hours.
  • Use toilet paper without help and flush the toilet.
  • Dress themselves and in particular, put on and take off jumpers, raincoats, paint shirts and unzip jackets.
  • Wash hands after going to the toilet and before eating.
  • Know their full name and address.
  • Open and close their school bag, lunch box and drink bottle.
  • Recognise their name among other names and if possible write it.
  • Play with other children.
  • Help with small jobs around the house and follow simple instructions like “Take off your shoes”.
  • Use scissors.
