From the Office
Well here we are in December. Are you all ready for Christmas? How the year has flown by!
We have had many excited children creating some lovely Christmas gifts for their families and having fun with lots of Christmas activities and games. Childrens yearly scrapbooks and portfolios are currently being sent home so please see your childs teacher if you have not received yours by Friday 24th. Our staff and children have been working very hard on creating these for you.
our Centre Christmas party and performances were so much fun and we thank the Senior kindy and Preschool parents who came along an braved the heat in the yard to watch the performances. our children did so well and we are so proud of them. the videos of these performances are posted to EDUCA for anyone who would like to watch them. Santa came to visit later in the morning and the children all received a very special present from him(thankyou parents!). Our centre Christmas party photos are posted on our Facebook page if you would like to go and view them and save the ones of your child.
Dont Forget that Friday 24th December is Christmas Eve and we are having a chilled out Christmas Pyjama Party on the day. So come along in your Christmas PJ's or outfits and watch some Christmas movies, create more Christmas craft and have some yummy snacks. its so exciting that Santa is only days away!
We had a lovely graduation for our Preschoolers early in December. We are so proud of all of our graduates and wish them love and luck as they head off to primary school next year. Thank you to Miss Odette and Miss Kan for a great year.
