Gosnells Primary School is committed to excellence and equity in education for every child who attends. The early years of a child’s life are critically important to their future educational success.
We want every young child to have the best start to school.
While Kindergarten in Western Australia is not compulsory, most children attend because parents understand that it helps give their children the best start to school.
Children can start Kindergarten when turning four years old by 30 June of the year they attend.
Kindergarten is the beginning of a child’s journey through school where they learn important early numeracy, literacy and social skills.
At Gosnells Primary School we currently run 2 Kindy groups. The Blue Kindy group attends every Monday and Tuesday during school term and Wednesday in the odd school weeks only. The Yellow Kindy Group attends every Thursday and Friday during school term and Wednesday in the even school weeks only.
