Getting a head start

Ettalong Public School welcomed a new batch of "enthusiastic starters" for Kindergarten 2007.

The school's Headstart program for next year's kindergarten students started on Wednesday, August 30, according to school publicity officer Ms Michelle Pathirana.

The program is held each Wednesday afternoon for 10 weeks and it aims to introduce incoming kindergarten students to the school.

During the 10 weeks, the newcomers become familiar with the layout of the school, the teachers and various activities in the school routine.

"The program has been running successfully for many years now and helps to ensure the important transition to school is as smooth as possible," Ms Pathirana said.

"Anyone wishing to enrol their kindergarten student for 2007 can contact Ettalong Public School on 4341 3655, or call into the office for an enrolment package."
