12.01.2022 With all of the varying weather, we have been sure to continue to engage in play outdoors! Outdoor play is vital for the growth, learning and development of children. By providing children with opportunities to play outside, we are increasing their ability to grow and develop. Outdoor play at Kindergarten can also mean more mess, and more mess often means more fun! These are some images of the children engaging in outdoor play in rain and shine ... #uppermtgravattkindergarten #kindergarten See more

We plan to be associated with the program in future years and hope that families enjoy seeing their child on television as Super Stars of Upper Mt Gravatt Kindergarten. We are delighted inform you all that we have official news that we are starring in the Crocomole episode below, which was shot at our Kindergarten on 19th October, 2017.

03.01.2022 Wonderful worms! With the rain a few weeks ago - the ALIQUA children were very interested in finding worms. We discovered that sometimes they are LONG and sometimes they are SHORT. ... We figured this out by putting them next to our feet to see if they were long or short. We even tried measuring next to Miss Jans feet to see if it was the same size! #kindergarten #uppermtgravattkindergarten
