Get Setup for Success with the St Mary’s College milangkani program!
The College offers an encouraging and nurturing environment for parents and carers to actively participate with their children in learning opportunities. A variety of play-based educational activities will engage your child’s learning and curiosity in all areas of development.
All families in the greater community with children aged between birth and five years old are warmly welcome to attend.
Setup for Success is a free program.
Sessions are run by Early Years Coordinator, Meg Kitchen, and are focused on empowering parents and carers to support their children’s development. Meg has more than 20 years of teaching experience and is Class Teacher of Kinder Koalas. She is looking forward to meeting you!
The name milangkani
milangkani is the palawa kani word for ‘grow’. This name connects with the St Mary’s College vision for the way we are growing our love of learning.
When
milangkani is run on Mondays (term-time only), 9.00am-10.30am and 11.00am-12.30pm. Families are invited to attend a maximum of one weekly session.
Thank you to all families for joining us and participating in the program during 2020. More information and dates will be provided closer to Term 1, 2021.
