Port Chalmers Kindergarten pupils went from old school to new school yesterday. The township's new kindergarten officially welcomed its young charges for the first time.

"We're absolutely stoked. It's like a humungous early Christmas present," head teacher Julie Peters said.

"All the children were very, very excited to come to kindy today."

The kindergarten had been in temporary premises in Albertson Ave since the old kindergarten was demolished on July 1.

"This new one is purpose-built and everything flows. The indoors and outdoors flows really well and supervision is much easier."

The kindergarten had a roll of 30 children, Ms Peters said.

"But, we're looking at 40 for next year. We have a very heavy waiting list."
