A big welcome back to all our children who returned to school last week – we have enjoyed catching up with you all. Our children over the last fortnight have been learning about why Reconciliation Week is when it is, and have been using Indigenous symbols in art activities and games to familiarise themselves with what each symbol represents. Octopus tag was well received after a child suggested this at the children’s meeting. These children’s meetings occur weekly and allow children to have input into the weekly program.

If your child/ren will be absent from a session, please ensure they are marked absent on the iparent portal. This is done under the bookings tab by selecting the date/session and clicking the red x on the right. Please see one of our educators for support if you are experiencing issues making or managing your bookings. Please also ensure you are able access your iparent portal – this is where you make and amend your bookings and receive notifications, messages and newsletters from us in addition to this fortnightly segment.

Vacancies are available for both morning and afternoon sessions on selected days, and we welcome all children and families to the service. To enrol your child, please visit www.helpinghandsnetwork.com.au, selecting Dayboro as your service and following the prompts to access the iParent Portal.
