Kindergarten, it’s time to PLAY

Kindergarten, it's time toPLAY

This picture may simply look like two Kindergarten students having a wonderful time playing together, but there is much more going on in this picture than you may realise. The inclusion of play-based experiences for Kindy students provides important opportunities for them to explore their creativity and imagination, exhibit problem-solving and conflict resolution, and develop social-emotional skills. The inclusion of play in the Kindergarten program also ensures a seamless transition between early childhood and school.

At HVGS, play is a way for students to explore their own interests, develop student agency and deepen connections in understanding across all learning areas. Play is also advocated for by the International Baccalaureate.
