Kindergarten 2020 It was wonderful to meet the families of our Kindergarten 2020 when they came along to Ross Hill for their Kindergarten Orientation sessions. If you have not yet completed and returned your child’s enrolment paperwork could you please do this as soon as possible. All enrolling Kindergarten students need to provide the school with a copy of their birth certificate, immunisation documentation and proof of address to enrol in a NSW Government school. An appointment time needs to be made for Kindergarten Interviews.
