25.01.2022 We have the Ella program running in our Funded 4 year old Kindergarten. This is our 3 rd year and the feed back from parents, children and educators is truly amazing. We have educated children to learn a different language and this year we have chosen HINDI. Kindergarten children can gain so much more than a new language experience. ELLA can boost childrens learning, cultural appreciation and digital, cognitive and social skills. Educators enjoy ELLAs co-learning model and the opportunities to engage with families.

We would love it if you could join us in reading Whitney and Britney Chicken Divas written and illustrated by Lucinda Gifford. ... National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country. Now in its 20th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian childrens book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6. This is always a special event at OShannessy ELC.
