21.01.2022 Sensory Play at Occasional Care...can you believe how much Shannon and Katie can fit in a session???

20.01.2022 We know that young children are very tactile and still have developing hygiene skills. As a result of this, We have decided to put our Occasional Care service on hold for the time being. We apologise for the inconvenience this might cause but look forward to seeing you again once it reopens. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Lee on 8588 6100. Take care

19.01.2022 There are so many rooms to discover...the Dinosaur area, the Shop, the Rocket and more...they even went Horse Riding! One of the joys of being Principal is being able to congratulate all the winners!

18.01.2022 I might have been tricky to book into Occasional Care with todays public holiday. Feel free to send a message via Facebook or call the school in the morning. Thanks

17.01.2022 The Occasional Care children enjoyed Pancakes as the school celebrated Shrove Tuesday and a visit from the Adelaide Crows!

17.01.2022 We loved having Occasional Care back in action again....it looked like the children did too! I love how the simplest of things can be so engaging. We also welcomed Mrs Stacey Hunter to the Occasional Care team. Im not sure who had more fun, Stacey or the children!

15.01.2022 Not long now till Occasional Care returns!!!!

14.01.2022 Community Occasional Care is available to all families in the community with children aged 2-5 years old. We are fortunate to have 2 excellent and qualified staff (Shannon P and Katie K) that provide excellent learning for children. They even go on excursions sometimes....here are some photo's from their visit to kindergym. Call 8588 6100 to book your child in...Friday's 8.50-1130am during Term time...$5 per session (first session free!)

14.01.2022 It was great to have some Occasional Care children join us and preform at our Carols Night....Last Occasional Care this Friday for the year, call 8588 6100 to book in!

13.01.2022 The Mothers Day/Special Person Activity Pack is out and ready to be collected....it was too windy to put out yesterday. Happy Mothers Day x

12.01.2022 Today is World Teachers day! Shannon, Stacey and Mandy provide great learning opportunities for the children in their care. We are lucky and thankful to have them on staff!

12.01.2022 Can you believe how much learning occurs in only a few hours

11.01.2022 Have you booked in for Occasional Care yet??? It starts again tomorrow (21st July). Here are some photo's of panting of Dinosaur Eggs and Decorating Dinosaur biscuits.

11.01.2022 My apologies for the late update...we have been busily working on the plan to bring Occasional Care back as soon as possible whilst keeping to the governments recommendations. Watch this space! Shannon has prepared an outdoor themed Activity Pack. A Scavenger Hunt and Bird Feeder. Normally a bird feeder has peanut butter but she has also recommended a substitute. Packs are now available for collection

10.01.2022 We hope you are happy and safe. Shannon has organised individual packs that you can pick up from the school. A self contained Easter activity pack is waiting for you on the outdoor table behind the school staff room. The plan is that we will have weekly packs available for families. This week there are 12 Easter Activity Packs available. But if you want to reserve a pack in the future, send through a message and we will try our best to have one for those that want one. There is no charge for the packs. Even though Occasional Care is currently on hold, you are still a part of our community. Remember, you matter to us, we care about your learning and we care about you.

10.01.2022 Its easy to see why children like going to Occasional Care

09.01.2022 It was great to have the Occasional Care children pop in to search, find and take home their Easter Basket. Though it was only brief, it was great seeing the children again. We hope to have an update regarding the return of Occasional Care soon!

09.01.2022 To be a child again.....so much fun!!!

08.01.2022 A friendly reminder that there is no Occasional Care this week...don't forget to book in for Friday 13 Sept. 8588 6100

05.01.2022 We love that you love the Community Occasional Care Activity Packs. Feel welcome to send in your pictures

05.01.2022 If you have been on the lookout for when Occasional Care is going to return....look on further. I am pleased to let you know that Occasional Care will return on Tuesday 26th May. But booking is essential 8588 6100. In following the regulations from the government, we are asking that children are dropped off at the gate, where they will be met by Shannon. We are trying to avoid having additional adults in the Occasional Care space. We appreciate that some children might need to be walking in, which we are happy to accommodate but if you dont need to, we ask that you dont. Hope you are as excited as we are to have Occasional Care back!
