We offer flexibility for families with Kindergarten operating five days a week at our Hobart campus for four and five year old girls.  Parents are asked to nominate their preferred Kindergarten days with a minimum of three days and the option of nominating additional days. Changing and adding extra days to the already nominated days will be subject to availability of space and ensuring optimal class sizes.
