Before and After School Program
Conon Road Kindergarten provides a before and after school program, picking up and delivering to Manning and St Pius X Primary schools.
After spending a long day at school, children welcome the change in surroundings, which supports their wellbeing through providing a relaxed and secure environment away from school pressures. As most of the school day is inside learning, we spend most of our time outside.
We support a multi age group approach, so your child will be excited to join their siblings, who are already at the centre.
Our natural 800 sqm fenced outside area provides lots of opportunities for your child to explore , climb, and socialise with their friends and siblings.
We regularly visit the park next door for a game of soccer or football or just to play on the play equipment. Also the library visits offer the children opportunities to select books using their own library cards.
Pick up and delivery to St Pius X and Manning Primary schools
Pre-kindy, kindy and pre primary children are dropped off and picked up from their classroom to ensure safe transition into the care of an adult. Year 1 upwards are asked to transition to class once in the school grounds.
On pick up of year 1 upwards, children will meet the educator at the stage (St Pius) and outside the science room (Manning Primary School).
The children at St Pius X school walk over Ley Street, along Cloister Avenue and meet up with Manning Primary School children on the corner of Cloister and Duckett Drive. Together they walk down Duckett Drive to Craigie Crescent to our centre.
Weather conditions
Although we always seem to avoid heavy rain, it is recommended that your child bring a rain jacket. We would prefer no umbrellas as they can become a safety hazard.
During summer the children apply sunscreen and need to wear a hat before walking back to the centre. If your child is instructed to keep their hat at school, please have a spare one in their bag.

We always appreciate honest feedback from our parents, because it helps us to improve our services and make sure we’re providing the best possible care for their children.
