Are you a parent, grandparent or carer with the vital skill of book covering or would like to learn? The Old Orchard Library needs your help!
Join us on Thursday 20 August from 9.00am - 11.00am in the Staff Room for a chat and a cuppa and help us re-stock our shelves.
If you are interested and hold a current WWC please email

Transport Victoria has launched a new road safety initiative to encourage parents/carers to choose child seat restraints based on the child's size, not age. Click on the link to learn about the correct restraint for your child.
Are you crafty?
We are looking for help with a couple of our costume items. We need some astronuat helmets and "granny" wigs for two of our class items. They don't need to be particulary professional looking. If you enjoy craft and have some time to help, please let Rhiannon or Sheree know.
