Congratulations to Bald Hills State School and their Kick Start to Learning program which was recently announced as a state finalist in the coveted Showcase Awards for Excellence in Schools.

The Awards reward and honour schools that are considerably improving student learning outcomes through quality teaching practices.

The Kick Start to Learning program supports children from Prep to Year 3, and is a finalist in the Network Ten Showcase Award for Excellence in Early Phase Learning.

As a finalist, Bald Hills State School has won $5000 to go towards their developmental programs, and if they take out the top award they will receive an additional $20,000 grant.

Here’s hoping that the judges look kindly on the achievements of Bald Hills’ teachers, support staff, teachers aides and volunteers who have all contributed to this fantastic program – all the best for the award announcements in late October.
