A Preschool for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from 3 – 5 years

At Koori Pre children enjoy participating in a wide range of activities like craft, stories, play and we love learning about our Indigenous past, present and future. Excursions are also organised to places of interest in our local area.

What is different for 2020?

• The program hours will increase from 9 hours to 15 hours
• Students will wear the same uniform as the rest of Ngunnawal Primary School making it easier for our families with 4 year olds also in mainstream preschool
• 4 year olds may also attend mainstream preschool with the hope that they access a full week of preschool dependent on the structure of the mainstream preschool they attend
• At Ngunnawal Primary School, we can guarantee 5 days of preschool for those students who are 4 years old and meet criteria to enrol in both preschool programs.
