Finlayson Park Kindergarten

"Children are enthusiastic learners who show a sense of belonging and feeling safe in the kindergarten. They enjoy positive and respectful relationships with teachers and contribute to conversations about their play. Children play cooperatively in small groups and are learning to persist with difficult tasks and to deepen their thinking."

Children demonstrate strong sense of safety, belonging, and positive relationships; learning persistence evident.

"Teachers have a strong commitment to success for all children which is reflected in their thoughtful use of equity funding, their priority focus on children with special needs and their enthusiasm for growing bicultural practices. They have identified the need to develop further their knowledge of their Pacific communities and how the programme can become more responsive to these smaller groups."

Growing bicultural practices evident; identified opportunity to deepen Pacific community knowledge and responsiveness.
