23.01.2022 With the new Adelaide break out it’s time for a reminder that if your child is sick, or showing any signs of illness (especially fever, runny nose, cough) do not send them to preschool, occasional care or playgroup. If you do need to go for a COVID test with your child, below is some advice on how to prepare them for the swap. The swab is very quick and does not hurt, but it can be a bit scary for children to be surrounded by people dressed in protective equipment and then have a swab up their nose. Keep well everyone.

20.01.2022 Preschool starts back on Monday the 27th and were looking forward to seeing or getting in touch with our families.

13.01.2022 Please stay home this Easter and school holidays. Easter is a special time for many South Australians, providing us all with a chance to spend time with our lo...ved ones or enjoy a long weekend camping before winter starts. But the coronavirus outbreak means this years Easter break will look a little different for us all. While we have to change our plans, you can still spend quality time with your loved ones. Staying at home will reduce the chances of you and your family becoming sick, or causing others to become sick. Cancelling holiday plans is always upsetting, but it is a vital step in protecting everyone, including our regional communities and their health resources. While family get-togethers, parties and BBQs are usually a great way to spend the long weekend, this year its important that everyone continues to practise social distancing. You should avoid spending time with anyone outside your immediate family and follow the state rules on indoor and outdoor gatherings. There are still lots of ways you can celebrate the holiday, and this can be especially important during these worrying times. Special meals, Easter egg hunts and camping in your backyard are just some of the ways you can keep entertained and there is no limit on the amount of hot cross buns you can eat. Even during the holidays, its important we all work together to stop the spread of the virus for the sake of everyone in our community.
