Wellbeing Week at Holy Family

Next week at Holy Family we are celebrating WELL-BEING WEEK!

To help our children get involved we will have a daily theme and weekly homework. We kindly ask all parents to encourage their child/children to participate in this wonderful experience.

On Monday Children are to wear their Sport Uniform for Well-being week! On Wednesday Children are to bring in a money donation for the St Vinnie's Winter Appeal.

Holy Family Playgroup

On Thursday we held our second Playgroup at Holy Family, Lindfield and the children were beaming with happiness!

We began by introducing a few of our Kindergarten students to our toddlers and soon after they all became buddies. Together, they actively listened to the children's book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, participated in (Caterpillar) craft activities and had free play.

We strongly believe that our playgroup program help our children explore new concepts, make new friends, and help ease the transition from pre-school to kindergarten by meeting their future classmates.

This is also a wonderful way for our parents to get to know our principal Pauline, kindergarten teachers and new families.

Our next Playgroup is on Tuesday, 25th of July. Reserve a spot here https://forms.office.com/r/RiYDn3cwmL
