Ready. Set. School.

Starting Kindergarten is a big step. Our 2026–2027 orientation goes beyond a quick classroom visit with practical activities that help children get to know the school, meet staff and make friends. The Kindergarten team, including school leaders, classroom teachers and support staff, are all on hand to make the transition to Springwood Public School as successful as possible.

Let's get ready for kindy together!
