Young Sonny, who has decided to be a surfer when he grows up, is thrilled to be at school – particularly as it means spending time with his two buddies and big brother Koa.

Sonny’s mum Brittany is excited to see him thrive in a new environment.

“Sonny is our second child to start at North Haven Public School and he has been very ready and excited to start big school for weeks,” said Brittany.

“He is looking forward to making new friends and is very happy that his older brother Koa is also at NHPS so he can spend time with him during the day.”

Charlotte, Kye and Audrey are equally excited to begin their educational journey.

Audrey told NOTA she is keen to engage in the ‘makeup game’, Kye is excited about playing football and soccer, while Charlotte remains focused on her learning.

“I have been practicing writing my name and learning to read,” said Charlotte.

Kindergarten teacher Samantha Egan shared the school’s excitement in welcoming the new kindy cohort.

“All the staff and students at NHPS were extremely happy to have our Kindergarten students join us,” said Mrs Egan.

“For the first few weeks of Term 1 our focus is on socialisation.

“Through lots of games, play and interaction the students will get to know each other and will begin to feel more comfortable in their new surroundings.

“During this time our Kindergarten students are also well supported by their Year 6 Buddies.

“Both our Buddies and the Kindergarten students enjoy spending time together and are establishing a strong bond.

“Our Buddy support system along with our orientation program plays a crucial role in easing this transition process for our Kindergarten students.

“The staff at NHPS love teaching and we love what we do – it is a very rewarding experience.”
