Starting School
Starting school or changing schools are important events for all children and we aim to make it a favourable experience for all involved.
If you are considering sending your child to Cargill, you are most welcome to come and look around the school and discuss your needs with staff.
New Entrants are encouraged to visit their new classroom for several weeks prior to turning 5. This can be arranged directly with the school or through the kindergarten or early childhood centre your child attends.
Our new entrant class makes reciprocal visits to the kindergarten next door which allows for children to catch up with their old friends and teachers.
All children are issued with free stationery on enrolment to make their transition to our school as easy as possible.
Enrolment packs are available from the school office.
