Jean Bonython Kindergarten

Welcome to Jean Bonython Kindergarten, located in the beautiful suburb of Glenalta, Arizona Terrace. As an establishment, point of interest, and school, we are dedicated to providing a quality and safe learning environment for our children.

At Jean Bonython Kindergarten, we hold a strong set of values that include equity, tolerance, honesty, responsibility, respect, trust, and compassion. These values are embedded within our curriculum and promote a positive and inclusive atmosphere for all our students.

We believe in the importance of parent-teacher partnerships and actively foster these relationships to ensure the best outcomes for our children. We strive to create a supportive community where parents and teachers work together to support each child's individual needs and development.

If you are passionate about education and would like to make a difference, we welcome volunteers to join us. Whether it's helping in the classroom or contributing to special events, your involvement in our kindergarten is highly valued. Contact us to learn more about volunteering opportunities in schools, preschools, and children's centers.

For those who are interested in taking a more active role in our kindergarten, we invite you to join our governing council. This council meets twice a term to ensure the smooth running of our preschool. If you are enthusiastic about contributing to the decision-making process and shaping the future of our institution, we encourage you to speak to us and register your interest.

As we are located in an area with a bushfire risk rating of R2, we prioritize the safety of our students and staff. We closely adhere to the bushfire safety requirements of the hills area, particularly the Mount Lofty Ranges. On forecasted 'catastrophic' fire danger days, we will be closed to ensure the well-being of everyone involved. Please read through all the information provided to understand your responsibilities during such circumstances. Additional information about active bushfires can be found on the CFS website, and you can refer to our bushfire action plan and the Department for Education's bushfire page for general information.
