Carinya Christian School GUNNEDAH Home and school together... every day....every stage Kindergarten -Year 6 Students in Kindergarten - Year 6 follow a curriculum based upon NSW Board of Studies requirements, building on the foundations provided in the Kindergarten Preparatory Class. Children joining the school in Kindergarten, or in later year levels, are warmly accepted into their peer group by students already familiar with the expectations of the school. They quickly adapt to their new environment and benefit from the peer-to- peer induction process which takes place so naturally between children. Teachers too, are especially aware of any new children in the school and make sure they have “buddies” to help them become happy and confident members of the school community. The school has outstanding classroom facilities, with electronic smart boards, easy access to computers and a modern, well equipped Library and Resource Centre. 6 Carinya CHRISTIAN SCHOOL Extra-Curricular Activities PRIVATE MUSIC TUITION Private music tutors provide specialist music tuition in a variety of instruments, for students from Year 2 to Year 6 in a convenient and secure environment.
