Helping Hands News
Dear Parents and Caregivers
Children eagerly participated in a game of capture the flag during the last fortnight, demonstrating awareness of strategic planning in order to obtain the flag and considering how each member of the team can contribute to the overall success of the team. Miss Jenny made goop with children and this fostered curiosity as they explored how and why the texture of the goop changes. It was wonderful to see older children explaining to their younger peers the science behind the process.
We are looking forward to exploring different games that are traditionally played in Indigenous communities across Australia and engaging in a variety of art and craft activities.
Please be advised that Helping Hands Dayboro will be closed on Monday 9th August for the Moreton Bay Show Holiday.
A reminder that if your child/ren participate in extra-curricular activities either before or after school, a new permission form will need to be signed to coincide with the new school term.
Thank you to all our parents for complying with the mask restriction and remaining outside of the service building. We appreciate your patience during this time.
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. Failure to notify us of absences in after school care means educators are having to search for children and a no show fee may be applied to your account. A reminder that bookings with less than 24hrs will need to be made via contacting the service on 0459 991 697.
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. If you have any issues, please contact Jenny at the service on 0459 991 697 or our customer accounts on 1300 612 462.
