Our Program
The children have been very creative the past few weeks, we’ve been seeing lots of clay creations, origami and plenty of water colour paintings. We love seeing the creative side to the children. We have been adding to our art display a lot the last few weeks, so please feel free to take a look at this children’s art when you are in next, we are all very proud of it!

We have been missing our wonderful friends Cassie and Nadiene who are on placement at the moment, the children have been excited to meet Finn and Fleur who are lovely new additions to our team, look out for them in OSHC and be sure to say hello!

We are starting to put together our holiday program, we can’t believe it’s time to do that again! As always suggestions are welcome and we will be asking the children for plenty of input.
