We know that starting kindergarten can be a big step—not only for students but for their parents too! You may have questions about packing school lunches, the importance of attendance, or even the right way to drop your child off at school.
That's why, to help students and their parents prepare for 2022, we've created a guide that is now available to download as a printable PDF. In the guide, you'll find helpful information on topics ranging from the things students will need on their first day of kindergarten to the reasons why consistent school attendance is so important.
You can view the e-book online or download the guide on our website.
We've created pull-out resources along with the Starting Kindergarten guide, including a handy planner for the year ahead and a comic poster for parents and carers to support their child's transition to primary school. Follow Daisy the koala as she embarks on her exciting first day.
Maths is everywhere! That's why in this year's starting school pack that we sent to schools, we included a collection of fun activities on a fold-out accordion aiming to help students get excited about maths. They'll learn how to conduct a treasure hunt, build a robot, use school lunch to learn about mass, and more.
Visit our Parents and Carers hub for more resources, articles, checklists and tools to help families get ready.

Metella Road Public School stands proudly on Darug land. A meeting place by the waters that always was and will always be traditional Aboriginal land. Thank you to the Elders past, present and emerging for caring for Country and allowing us to unite together on this land where we work, learn and play. We promise to care for Country, sky, plants and each other. We cherish the lizards, cockatoos and rainbow lorikeets, and will care for the gum trees so they can spread their branches to protect the land for future generations. Together we acknowledge and respect the deep spiritual connection and valuable history of this land and know that where we learn is a sacred place.
