From The Office

Hello Families and Friends, it’s lovely to see you and the children settling in well to the Service. Please feel free to speak to the office staff or your child’s room Educators / Teacher if you have any questions about the routine, program or anything else you may need.

Coming up on the 8^th of May we are having our class move throughs for children who have reached the appropriate age and development. Room transitions are happening from this week, allowing the children to spend time in their new classroom environment with their new Educators and peers. If your child is moving rooms please feel welcome to visit the new classroom and speak with the Educators of that room.

We are inviting all our wonderful mother’s to join us for a Mother’s day morning tea on Friday 12^th of May, from 10am – 11am. The children and their class are preparing some lovely activities for their Mums to do with their child while they are here. We hope you have time to come along and join us.

Parent Teacher Interviews are to be held on Thursday 18^th of May. Times that are available for each room will be displayed in the foyer over the next few weeks. Limited time slots may be available, so if you are unable to make this day or any of the times you are welcome to discuss this with your child’s Teacher or Educator to find a time and day that suits you both to meet.

We will be running our annual book fair form Monday 22^nd to Friday 26^th of May. This is a great time for children and Educators to share their favourite stories with their class, helping to embed a love of literature in the children lives.

26^th of May is National Sorry Day. National Sorry day is a day to acknowledge the strength of Stolen Generations Survivors and reflect on how we can all share in the healing process.

On the 26^th of May, we encourage families to allow their children to show support for their favourite state for the biggest football event of the year by wearing their team colours on this day. The children will enjoy throwing and kicking the balls around and getting into the team spirit by engaging in some team games with Educators.
