Regular Events

Parent Info Evenings

For all parents - these are designed to give insight into how learning happens at Kinma with opportunities to ask questions and experience what it is like to be a Kinma student. These meetings are usually held in the third week of term from 7 pm to 9 pm. Dates this year are yet to be set.

Kids Market Day

Kids' Market Days are a regular special event held 2 days per year. The children are encouraged to bring along toys, books etc they no longer need and set up their own stalls to raise funds for the school. Parents also set up stalls and sell a wide variety of items from craft, cakes to clothing and secondhand items. This is a great opportunity for the children to practice their skills at handling money and dealing with their peers and parents as customers. Profits go to fund special classes or programs, such as music or sport, at Kinma.

Preschool Open Day & Talk Over Tea

A Preschool Open Day will be held in May. This will include a Talk Over Tea. If you can't make it to the Open Day, come and spend a morning at our preschool with your 3-5 year old. Arrange your free trial of preschool by phoning Kinma at 9450-0738.

Talk over Tea

Kinma holds regular "Talk over Tea" mornings throughout the year with a variety of informative and interesting topics. Come and join us for a coffee, a chat and a chance to learn more about Kinma.
