The Department of Education (the department) is committed to ensuring Queensland children and families have access to a kindergarten program wherever they live.
The department provides kindergarten programs in selected approved State Schools in communities where families would otherwise not have access to a kindergarten program. Kindergarten is proudly provided at our school 5 days per week. We offer an approved kindergarten program delivered by a qualified teacher to children who are at least 4 years old by 30 June in the year they start the program. The kindergarten program at Burketown State School is provided on the following days:

| Finish | 11.30 | 11.30 | 11.30 | 11.30 | 11.30 |
To participate in our Kindergarten program children must have turned 4 before 30 June. There is no opportunity for early entry into the Kindergarten program.
