23.01.2022 Following is some information from The Shine Shed, all abilities play centres at Vineyard and Campbelltown: With 2 fantastic locations, we are Sydneys best all abilities indoor play centre, who are on a mission to bring inclusive and integrated play to people of any age with any level of physical or intellectual ability. Both the original Campbelltown location, and the brand new Vineyard location offer a safe, fully fenced, indoor play space full of sensory and stimulating... equipment where visitors can choose to tire themselves out or just chill. Our equipment provides visitors with a chance to meet sensory needs and develop their gross and fine motor skills through play. We are a perfect place for school groups to come for regular or one off visits - community access, excursions, end of year celebrations, or even modified sporting activities under teacher supervision. Weve attached a flyer with some basic information, or you can find out more at our websites or on Facebook via the details below. Wed love to tell you more about how Shine Shed can bring joy to the students (and teachers) in your school.

21.01.2022 I am truly overwhelmed by the lovely sentiments. Thank you to The Ponds School staff, they are the best! They know, value and care for our students every day. Thank you to our parents and carers for your well wishes, support, all that you do for your child/ren and for being our partners in the learning process. So proud to be principal of The Ponds School where we have a wellbeing focus for all and where we learn in a safe and caring environment. Thank you!

20.01.2022 We have unfortunately created some confusion. Healthy Harold notes went home last week with a fee of $11. Earlier in the year when it was set up, Healthy Harold was referred to as Life Ed and that is what is showing on your statement of account for $11. They are actually the same event so it only needs to be paid once. We are refunding duplicated payments if everything else has been paid. Apologies again for the confusion we have created.

20.01.2022 From classroom desks to dining room tables. See how the students, parents and teachers from these schools navigated online learning, and what they learned together along the way. #EdWeek20 *Posted by the NSW Department of Education*
