Kindness is the key ingredient that helps children feel good. Our teachers ask them what's on their mind when they think of kindness. Check out them out!

04.01.2022 Ngununubu families, Today is Remembrance Day but how do we talk to children about its significance & importance?

04.01.2022 Ngununubu Wandarrah families, In the longest time we have known that music has the ability to heal. Aristotle once said "when we hear (music), our very soul is altered". In modern times, scholars and doctors have researched the mysterious power of music. Some of these researches yielded incredible results. Unlike language, music activates all subsystems of our brains. Music ignites all areas of children development & skills for school readiness, including but not limited to i...ntellectual, socio-emotional, motor and overall literacy. Music helps our Jarjums' body and mind to work together. In recognition of this, Wandarrah pre-school invites Miss Sarah from www.singandgrow.org , to come and sing with our Jarjums every week to further develop their school readiness before they go to Prep school. Please visit our website: www.wandarrah.com to find out more about how music can help your Jarjums.

03.01.2022 Hello Wandarrah families & friends, We all know our jarjums love to play and they are right!

All they need is you We have included a good video on this topic courtesy of our friends at Queensland State Library. Have an enjoyable and fun week!
