Renown Kindergarten has been providing kindergarten children with their first educational experience since 1920. Named after the battle cruiser, which brought the popular Prince of Wales (later the duke of Windsor) to begin his tour of Australia in 1920, the new kindergarten building was officially opened by Lady Forster (then Governor General’s wife) on 6 December 1923.
Renown Kindergarten then became an independent kindergarten affiliated with the Free Kindergarten Union of Victoria, a non-government organisation which continues to give kindergartens a ‘union’ of strength to work independently towards obtaining, maintaining and ensuring the availability of the best conditions for the benefit of kindergarten aged children.
In 1981, the kindergarten became an incorporated body. It now operates under a parent “Committee of Management”.
