Storypark

Thank you to all our families who have been reading and responding to your child's learning stories. It is wonderful to celebrate these moments with you. Storypark can be accessed via an app for easy use.

Communication Pockets

Your child's communication pocket in the entry of the Centre will hold important notices and items that belong to your child. Green Team pockets are located in the Green Team room. Please check on your arrival each day. Thank you.

We do ask that any forms you send back to the Centre are handed to the educator at the door on your arrival. Please do not leave them in your child's bag as educators support children to unpack their bags and can miss these important documents. Thank you.

Starting Blocks

A great website as a 'go to' for news, advice and updates on the early childhood education and care.
