Ripponlea Kindergarten is immensely proud of our Bush Kinder program and this article, recently published in The Guardian, highlights many of the wonderful skills students can learn within a program like ours.
Ripponlea Kindergarten acknowledges the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land where we learn, play and work. We pay our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their Elders, past and present.
Ripponlea Kindergarten is committed to creating a Child Safe environment. Protecting children from harm and abuse is embedded in the everyday thinking and practice of all staff members.
