Bankstown South Infants School preschool students celebrated Harmony Week by creating a special 'everyone belongs' handprint artwork. Students also listened to Ten Little Fingers & Ten Little Toes by Mem Fox & discussed how we all belong no matter where we come from in the world.

Moving from a K-2 setting into a K-6 setting is a crucial transition process which we take very seriously. We prepare our students through social and emotional learning, problem solving skills and resilience building.
