Five-day Kindergarten

Five-Day Kindergarten at St Patrick’s Catholic School—Continuing in 2026!

We are thrilled to announce the ongoing success of our Five-Day Kindergarten program at St Patrick’s Catholic School. Since its launch, our Kindergarten program has been providing children with a strong foundation for lifelong learning—and it will continue to be offered five days a week during term time in 2026.

This extended program offers much more than a simple change in schedule—it’s a transformative approach to early years education that supports our youngest learners in every aspect of their development.

A Place to Grow Every Day

Our five-day Kindergarten creates a safe, consistent, and inspiring environment where children grow in confidence, curiosity, and capability. With access to daily high-quality learning experiences, your child will have more time to:

Build friendships and develop strong social skills
Explore their world through play-based learning
Strengthen early literacy and numeracy foundations
Engage in creative and physical activity
Experience the rhythm and routine of school life

Above all, five-day Kindergarten nurtures a strong sense of belonging, ensuring that children feel part of their school community from the

very beginning.

A Smart Start for Lifelong Learning

Daily attendance in Kindergarten promotes a smoother transition to Prep and beyond. With regular exposure to both structured and informal learning, children build:

Oral language development
Critical thinking skills
School readiness

This benefits families too. Our five-day program offers a consistent routine that is perfect for working parents, giving you peace of mind knowing that your child is learning, growing, and thriving in a supportive Catholic environment.

The success of our Five-Day Kindergarten program has already been proven at St Patrick’s. We've seen how it enhances children’s educational outcomes and supports family wellbeing. We're excited to continue offering this invaluable opportunity in 2026 and beyond.

What’s the Difference Between Child Care and Five-Day Kindergarten?

While child care focuses on supervision and free play, five-day Kindergarten offers structured, intentional learning experiences each day. In our program, children engage in a rich mix of activities designed to support their:

Oral language and communication skills
Pre-literacy and early numeracy understanding
Social, emotional, and physical development
Creativity, curiosity, and independence

Every aspect of our program is designed to nurture your child’s growth in an environment guided by Gospel values, compassionate care, and educational excellence.
