We have enjoyed getting to know our new families over the past fortnight. Children have developed their creativity through various forms of block construction, origami and domino trails. Children were observed listening and sharing ideas and could be heard using teamwork skills to build different parts of the zoo.

On Valentine's Day, we boosted each other's wellbeing by writing and discussing what we like about each other. These hearts are proudly displayed in service to remind children the value they bring to our service. We also finished displaying our 2022 goals to remind ourselves of what we're aiming to achieve this year. It is exciting to see how many children are aiming to try new sports or improve their skills in rugby league, soccer and netball to name a few. See below for some photos of our display.

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.
