Getting ready for Kindergarten
Starting Kindergarten is an exciting adventure full of promise. Before the school year begins there are a number of ways that you can help prepare your child for this important experience. Talking about Belfast School and helping your child feel excited about their new adventure will make a positive difference. Refer to the CBE Kindergarten Registration page for all the latest information about the program.
Please provide your child with:
- Indoor shoes to be kept at school

- Backpack – big enough for the communication folder & library books
