Alibaby said it all beautifully!! I am starting Kindergarten (NSWs prep) this year as a teacher LOL Haven't taught it for ages but I am really looking forward to it. Have you got kindy this year Ali?? Are you doing Best start??
Good luck Nic, I am sure he will be fine. At our school the Yr1 mums organise "Tea and Tissues" in the hall when the kindys start so that the mums can have a cry and also meet other mums.

How exciting being back on kindy MrsMac! I love kindy- so much fun and so rewarding as a teacher to see how much they learn and grow in one year!

I am on kindy again this year. Will be going back for the few couple of weeks before I take 6mths maternity leave and then will be job sharing with the teacher who will have my class while I am on leave. We are doing Best Start this year. I will have to assess my class at the beginning of the year as the teacher who is sharing with me hasn't done the training.

Are your kids starting late because of it? Ours are coming in to be assessed individually then starting on the 2nd Wednesday.

Yep! They are coming in for individual assessment times during Week 1 either the Wed, Thurs or Fri and then they all start together on the Monday of Week 2.

We had already sent out notes to parents before the strike was announced so even if the strike goes ahead we still need to be there.
