25.01.2022 The joy of being back in workshops at last, with this team of 18 dedicated educators at Olsen Avenue Community Children’s Centre, on Saturday morning. . This t...eam development workshop focused on team identity, connection, wellbeing and communication. In just two hours we collaborated to draft a shared team purpose/mission statement together, figured out the stages of team development and ways to keep moving forward, discovered personal strengths within the team, AND explored communication for a culture of enquiry! . It was such a pleasure to work with you all... in person! Cheers to your ongoing discovery and professional learning.

21.01.2022 Ozcare Labrador often have special weeks to create a fun atmosphere for their residents, last weeks theme was monkey around. The children drew pictures of monkeys to help cheer up the hallways and create an fun space for the elderly residents who often feel isolated, especially during these times. What a fantastic way for the children to build connections with their wider community.

19.01.2022 The child’s voice- The Children had decided that they would spend the proceeds from the Fathers Day raffle on new Australian animal toys. They arrived today. Have a look at all the learning experiences the Preschool class had, scaffolding their own learning. Today the Preschool Children had an exciting time opening some new resources. They felt the packages, listened to the sound they made and guessed what they might be. One of the children noticed that one of the small bo...xes had a square end and one was rectangle, so we explored the boxes and shapes too. Inside we discovered wooden Australian animals and in the boxes, we found more Australian animals. Following on from this the children adventured outside to find natural fauna to add to the display table, while others made homes built from boxes and recycled craft materials. Quality Area 1 Educational program and practice The aim of Quality Area 1 of the National Quality Standard is to ensure that the educational program and practice is stimulating and engaging, and enhances children’s learning and development.

06.01.2022 Look what just arrived The children were extremely excited to see the arrival of our new watertank. Thank you to all our families for your support. Without your generosity helping to sell sausages at the Bunnings barbecue, and recent sales of raffle tickets, we wouldn’t of been able to raise the $3700 dollars need to purchase and install the water tank. What a fantastic way for the children to learn about community spirit and working together to achieve a common goal. OACCC can now ensure that all children learn about sustainability and how water is a precious resource that must be looked after for future generations.

06.01.2022 Yesterday the children made pictures to brighten the hallway of one of our local nursing homes. With Covid 19 putting the elderly into isolation, we thought it might be nice to receive something to let them know we are thinking of them

02.01.2022 HAPPY EDUCATORS DAY to the BEST TEAM in Early Childhood Education. It takes a big heart to help shape little minds and we thank you for the amazing job you do each and every day.

02.01.2022 Today some of the children helped to spread the joy of Christmas as they learnt the gift of giving. Each of the rooms had made our elderly neighbours at the Rotary Village some sweet treats, drawings and cards. We knocked on the doors one by one delivering our gifts. Those that were home got quite a surprise as the children greeted them with MERRY CHRISTMAS and handed them their gift. ... It was lovely to see that no matter how small the act of kindness is, it is never wasted. Olsen Avenue Community Childrens Centre wish everyone a safe and happy New Year

02.01.2022 Jinjeri (hello) Olsen Avenue Community Childrens Centre would like to knowledge Rachel Jack from Wiriadjiri Mob, Western N.S.W for painting this beautiful piece of artwork. After a cultural yarn with our local elder Uncle Allan, we decided that the Magpie best represented the centre as it totem.... The Kulamburunn (Magpie) has particular significance to us. Generations of these beautiful birds have grown up here, and visit the children each and every day. The children welcome them and enjoy sharing their meal times with the birds. The painting now welcomes our families and new members of our community. It is displayed beautifully in our foyer for all to see.

01.01.2022 We love watching this video of all our families up and dancing, such a fun day

01.01.2022 Meet Carol, I was introduced to her a few months back and thought she was such an interesting, knowledgeable and friendly character that I knew the children would love her. So I asked Carol if she would like to volunteer her time to spend with the children? Carol now visits us once a month. Intergenerational programs like this provide opportunities for different generations to come together to share experiences, knowledge, and skills that are mutually beneficial and foste...r positive long-term relationships. The children have already formed a lovely bond with Carol greeting her with excitement and open arms.
