18.01.2022 Enrol now for kinder in 2021 Heres what some of our kinder parents had to say: I love the kinder years, its such a lovely time in a childs life. I a...lso made some really good friends with other mums. The kinder program and its teachers are amazing. I was rapt when the shire started offering longer days - it fits in with my work. The structure of kinder really helped prepare my son for school. It made the transition into prep an easy one. Enrol by this Friday at: www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au/kinder

18.01.2022 Have you been going on a bear hunt during the lockdown? Many children have been enjoying this fun way to see their suburb. Here, much-loved bear hunt author, Mi...chael Rosen, performs his classic story. Not for bed-time perhaps but a good way to warm up for a Sunday stroll in your neighbourhood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OI7fe766nk See more

( Thanks Beth we are still using these signs) Throughout the year, the children have been adding soil , compost, mulch and water, taking fantastic care of the spud towers. Finally it was time to harvest, sort, weigh and clean. Congratulations to the Minions team their spuds weighed in at 2.2kg the Pikachu team were close behind with just under 2kg.
