It has been great to see our children quickly settle back into before and after school care routines. Warmer weather means physical activity has increased in interest, particularly games like red rover, basketball, handball and skipping. These games have encouraged social skill development and co-ordination; both heavily used in team sports like soccer, rugby league, cricket and netball to name a few.

Art and Sustainability clubs are both running again this term. Our art club has fostered confidence in children to regularly express their creativity and individuality through various art forms. Sustainability club has seen children develop awareness of how small changes can have positive environmental impacts.

Congratulations to our newly appointed junior and senior co-ordinators for term 4!
After School Care – Junior: Kate Neuherz, Senior: Makynli Allen
Before School Care – Junior: Sienna Burns

A reminder that children require a hat and re-fillable drink bottle each session. Please ensure these are correctly labelled should they get misplaced.

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.
