Tinkering

Diversity of learning opportunities

The staff at Kinma try to offer as many opportunities available to our gorgeous children to experience. One way that we do this is by tapping into the love, expertise and sometimes craziness of our wonderful parents.

Multiple passions of children are being recognised and planned for and new teacher and parent offerings are being shared all year, giving parents a chance to spend time in the community imparting what they love most and working with children that find interest and excitment in their passions.

Kinma values a school environment that allows pupil participation in the affairs of the school and that encourages involvement in the community outside the school.
