HERBY'S SCHOOL TOUR
Front Office
Step right in! My name's Herby and I'm the Evatt mascot. I'm going to take you around our beautiful school. First we'll start at the front office. The front office people are very kind and helpful.
Room 10
You are now looking at the Kindergarten classroom. This room is very colourful and decorative. You'll find many students helping each other in a cooperative environment. The students show respect to their teachers and are always smiling. The 'rainforest' area outside the classroom is where the children enjoy eating together.

Reading Room
Now we are visiting the reading room. In this room the students learn to read with the parents/carers/grandparents and senior cross-age tutors. They enjoy reading with the helpers and are improving every day. The wide variety of books ensures that all interests and reading levels are well catered for in the room.
