‘Kinder Garden’ – Ready, Set, Grow!’

... little seeds, BIG beginnings!

One of the many advantages of being part of our PLC Armidale community is the seamless continuity we can offer our students as they move from Pre-Kindergarten to Kindergarten. 

Because we already know each child well – their strengths, learning styles and social connections – our teachers have been able to design a transition program that is responsive to their needs and tailored to ensure a smooth, confident start to school life.

Our Kindergarten Transition Program, “Ready, Set, Grow!”, is a seven-week journey designed to build familiarity, confidence, and a love of learning. The program gently introduces our 2026 Kindergarten students to the routines, expectations, and environment of “big school,” while fostering friendships and independence.

Each week, students will participate in engaging, supportive and fun activities carefully crafted by our Kindergarten and Pre-Kindergarten teachers. The sessions focus on key readiness skills across areas such as: Listening and following directions; Fine and gross motor development; Early literacy and numeracy concepts; Social interaction and cooperative play; and Confidence in classroom routines and transitions.
