Why Hunter Valley Grammar School? 

For many families, Kindergarten is the first tiny step in a big learning journey. We know that Kindies are special and they need an environment that nurtures their curious minds and adventurous hearts every day. You’ll find that with us! 

What you need to know

• Kindy Discovery Day or our Open Mornings are a great way to get to know more about the Kindergarten experience at HVGS, meet our wonderful Junior School and Key Staff along with taking a fun tour around the school! Book your place here

• Being part of a high-performing P – 12 school has big benefits! Kindy kids have the same access to outstanding facilities, specialist teachers, student mentors and a broad Co-Curricular program. 

• Starting in the early years at HVGS sets your child up for sustained success at school – well beyond the Kindy years.  If they have older brothers or sisters, the whole family benefits from being part of the same school, too!

• Many students transition into Kindergarten across from our Early Learning Centre, so it’s best to join our waitlist as early as possible (even from birth!)  

• Although they are only five, our future-focused curriculum readies Kindergarten students for a global future. Read more about how we develop their worldview.

• We have you covered in the afternoons. After School Care is available onsite each weekday. For the school holidays, TeamKids runs a vacation care program for HVGS families at the school. Read more

• Our comprehensive Kindergarten Orientation and Transition Program settles the nerves and prepares children (and families!) for a seamless transition to big school. Students enrolled in our Early Learning Centre also participate in a structured transition program. Read more about that on our ELC page.

• To find out more about enrolling in Kindergarten, visit our Enrolment FAQs page. Kindy places are sought after, so we suggest you get in contact early.

What Can We Offer?

What does an International Baccalaureate School Mean? 

Our children are faced with an increasingly challenging world. For students to navigate a complex and ever changing society, it’s important they see themselves as global citizens who are open-minded, thinking about the world around them, taking action for change and contributing to a more economical, peaceful and sustainable world.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme at HVGS uses school-wide pedagogy to better develop students’ skills necessary to navigate global citizenship.
