Excursion to Canberra Theatre - Possum Magic.

Last Friday the Ground Parrot and Rock Wallaby classes enjoyed a trip to the Canberra Theatre to watch Possum Magic. It was a wonderful opportunity for our children to watch and enjoy a high quality theatre production (and the bus ride was pretty exciting too).

Lids 4 Kids & Bread Tags for Wheelchairs

The ELC is collecting milk bottle lids to be recycled to make prosthetic limbs for children using 3D imaging.

Bread Tags for Wheelchairs: The bread tags are repurposed into a range of products such as seedling trays, picture frames, door knobs, coat hangers and more. The money earned from selling the tags is used to buy wheelchairs for people who can’t afford them.

Collection jars are located in the ELC foyer and can be dropped in at any time.

Collection of lids and tags also saves this resource from going to landfill.

Playgroup for pre-preschoolers and their families. Wednesday mornings from 9am-10.30am in the ELC Playground (weather permitting). Parents, grandparents, carers and children are all very welcome.
