Kindergarten 2022
Get set to say hello to Kindy @ Edney in 2022
At Edney, Kindergarten is a rich, play-based and appropriate developmental program which will attend to the individual emotional, intellectual and physical needs of the children. Each child is recognised as a unique individual. Through this, all children are encouraged to develop their own feelings, thoughts, opinions and ideas and to express themselves comfortably and freely.
Our Kindergarten program is based on play activities through a planned environment determined by the needs of the children. Children have the opportunity to learn through discovery in as many ways as possible. All children have a right to grow and develop with a positive self-image. Children are encouraged to settle any differences verbally, and are guided into positive social interaction with peers and adults, whilst respecting everyone’s feelings and rights. Children are entitled to good physical care and intellectual stimulation, in a safe, clean, happy environment with careful supervision. Each child will progress at their own pace. A child may need encouragement to participate in some areas in order to promote development. Children are encouraged to have pride in who and what they are, and in what they achieve.
Below you will find everything you need to know about starting Kindy at Edney in 2022.

STUDENT REQUIREMENTS (BOOKLIST)

The attached list details the required items, along with an opportunity to have the items of your choice selected, packed and filled by our preferred supplier, Nextra Paperplace Forrestfield.
VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS, FEES & CHARGES
The school requests a voluntary contribution for each student enrolled at Edney for the year. This amount has been set by the Edney Primary School Board at $60 per student for the year. We request that this contribution is paid by the end of Term One 2022. In addition, throughout the year, students may have the opportunity to be involved in excursions, visiting performances and special activities for which a charge may be requested. A spreadsheet and explanatory letter outlines the possible maximum charges which may be levied throughout the year.
PARENT HANDBOOK
Our comprehensive school information booklet contains a summary of key information, policies and guidelines that underpin the operations of Edney Primary School.
HELLO KINDERGARTEN!
The Department of Education has produced a useful booklet for parents to guide them on what to expect in your child’s first year of school, along with helpful hints and activities to complete at home.
