25.01.2022 Dear families, As Greater Brisbane prepares for the three-day lockdown I wanted to share our plans for Monday January 11 with you. We will be open with all our usual strict hygiene practices in place... As a national organisation Goodstart is very experienced in dealing with COVID-19 lockdowns and we’re here to help your family and minimise any disruptions to your child’s early learning. If you decide to keep your child at home, it will be treated as a normal absence day just like if your child was sick or on holidays. Health and hygiene Throughout COVID we have had the strictest health and hygiene measures in place, and this will continue. Our national health and safety team have been closely monitoring the situation and on Monday you will need to: Wear a mask when you come to our centre (children don’t need to) Drop off and pick up your child at our foyer Limit to one parent and keep visit to under 15 minutes We will also: Limit the movement of staff between centres Reduce non-essential visitors Cancel all tours and orientations planned for Monday Anyone experiencing the mildest symptoms, such as headache, fatigue, cough, sore throat or runny nose, are asked to not attend the centre and go forward immediately for testing, then isolate until they receive a negative result. If you would like to know more about how to wear a facemask safely there is a great video available here: https://www.qld.gov.au//coronavirus-covid-19/pr/face-masks Regards Amy Director

21.01.2022 Yesterday was an exciting day here at Goodstart Carindale. We were lucky enough to have the RSPCA come and visit us and discuss the importance of being safe around animals and how to be care for their animals. The children in Kindergarten had the opportunity to give Patches the dog a little pat, hand the certificate of appreciation to the volunteers, the money raised by all our amazing families and all the donations collected. Patches the dog then went and visited Pre-Kindy and Toddlers before they headed home. Thank you to all the families who donated money to this wonderful organisation and a big thank you to the Wood family for their wonderful donation of old blankets and towels.

20.01.2022 The RSPCA is attending our centre on the 25th of November (Wednesday) at 10 am for our kindy children. By proving these opportunities our children in our community are learning gentleness and empathy for animals and living things. They are also bringing a puppy in for the children to interact with called Patches. There is a fee involved and if you can please donate $3.00 per child in the kindergarten room for this visit. As this is greatly appreciated and will go towards as...sisting our animals in the RSPCA and this charity event. We look forward to all the learning that will occur this month. We are also asking families if you have any old towels or blankets that you may like to donate these on the day as the RSPCA are in desperate need of towels and sheets. Thank you so much and I will have a basket in the foyer from Monday afternoon.

11.01.2022 Today as a community we came together to commemorate ANZAC Day. Miss Jenny shared with the children the reason why ANZAC Day is one of the most important commemorative dates on our National calendar. Miss Jenny talked about the spirit of ANZAC through mateship, courage and sacrifice. Also touching on how we care for each other and the world as a whole. Listening to The Last Post we had a moment of silence in honour of those who fought hard for our freedom. Lest We Forget #carindale #goodstart #ANZACDay2021 #lestweforget
