Grandparents and Special People Day in the ELC

We enjoyed two beautiful mornings with our very special visitors at the preschool this week.  Grandparents and special friends had the opportunity to visit the classrooms, share the children's learning, visit the chicks and share a morning tea together. Thanks to all those who came and made the morning so special. Photos below.

Hatching Chick program

The preschoolers have been engaged in the hatching chickens program over the last two weeks. This has linked with both our Religious Education unit on sensing God and learning about God's creation and our unit of inquiry on Understanding our Social Responsibility in the Natural World. We farewell the chicks and ducks tomorrow and welcome any families who would like to continue raising the chicks and/or ducks at their home, to collect by 12pm Friday.

Working Bee

A HUGE thank you to our families (and extended family) that assisted at the working bee on Friday. The sandpit is super clean and topped up, the playground is tidy, we have new vegie garden beds, some beautifully installed trellis and plants along our entrance. Photos below

Before School Care end of term breakfast

Next Tuesday 24 September, Natalie and Rachel invite the BSC children for a celebratory breakfast from 7.45-8.40. Healthy banana bread, assorted fruit and cereal will be on offer.

Woolworths Discovery Garden

If you shop at Woolworths and have no use for the Woolworths Discovery Garden seed kits that you receive when shopping, we'd be most appreciative of any spare you have. We will raise the seeds and plant them in our new garden beds. Please feel free to drop them into the ELC office.

Paper Donations

If your work place disposes of clean, single sided used paper (all sizes), please consider saving it and donating to the ELC for our drawing, writing and craft projects. 

School Holiday Program in the ELC

The ELC is now taking bookings for the school holiday program that will run from 30 September to 11 October. The program is open to children from the ELC, Kinder and their siblings in Year One, with priority given to current ELC families. Bookings can be made by clicking here. 

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.
