Chapel Hill Community Kindergarten - EXCEEDING NATIONAL QUALITY STANDARDS

We are thrilled to announce that Chapel Hill Kindy achieved the best possible result following our triennial assessment visit in June - a level of “Exceeding” against each of the seven national quality standards. For this we can thank our teachers, staff, committee and parents for their diligence, dedication and passion in making our kindy wonderful, not just in the lead-up to our assessment, but every single day. To achieve this rating, our kindy was required to demonstrate that we exceed the national standards in four of the seven quality areas, and meet the standards in the other three. We achieved “exceeding” in all seven standards.

Kindy Co-directors Anna Hutchings and Kim Cujes said of the result, "Thank you to our amazing teaching team, committee and children for a wonderful result in our assessment. A special thanks to Michelle Arthy-Chan, Cheryl Nell and Sandra Palmer for their tireless efforts with all the supporting documentation. And a special thanks to our wonderful parents - Nicholas Bourne, Darren & Phillipa Guppy and Ben Garland who joined the additional working bee."

"We wish to acknowledge the dedicated teachers, parents and committees of past years who have ensured a strong tradition of quality play based learning in a unique and beautiful natural environment. Our excellent result is a reflection of our proud history."

"And last but certainly not least, big hugs and thank yous to our beautiful kindy children who inspired wonderful remarks from our assessor, and who inspire us everyday."

Congratulations everyone! It is official – our kindy really is exceptional.

Another Amazing Art Show!

It was another fantastic day at our beautiful kindy, made even more beautiful by the display of many amazing artworks by all of the children from each kindy group. Not only did we get to enjoy the fruit of the children's artistic abilities, the day was complemented by delicious coffee by The Rich Pour, treats from the cake stall, as well as the interactive entertainment by Mal Wood and his Jazz Men. The children loved dancing and joining in with the music and it added to the atmosphere of the wonderful day. Thank you to our excellent teachers and all involved in making the 2013 Art Show a success!
