We welcomed spring with open arms and even with some of the crazy winds we made the most of it. Using sticks that had fallen we painted and beaded them with buttons to create windchime wall Decore. As well as decorating our space with a warm "lead light" sun, clouds and of course the moon too. We have been crafting away creating an indoor and an outdoor fairy garden which real life fairies have visited! Cooking in the morning has been a lovely way to start the day, lasagne, lemonade and scones have all been on the menu. When the winds final died off, we got out for our first taste of garden club. The children did some digging and ribbon weaving through the fence to create some beautiful designs.
Now that spring is here the garden has been opened. we have a lovely veggie patch out the back that unfortunately has been forgotten about. The aim next term will be to have it up and growing, to use the produce in our afternoon teas. Regretfully I am not a green thumb and would love some ideas or assistance, please email or drop in if you could spare some time to volunteer or donate:) I cannot wait to see what the children grow.

Our staffing structure for Semester Two is detailed below:
Permanent educators - Lily, Harry
Casual educators - Samara, Oriane, Kurtis
Holiday program coordinators- Lily & Harry & Chloe
Staffing arrangement often change due to the needs for the service and growing numbers, there will be some new faces, but we understand consistency is important in building connections and creating a strong sense of wellbeing for our children.
A reminder that holiday program is open and available to students from other schools. It is vital you book early to ensure your child a spot as we do frequently book out. It is always best to book for OSCH as far in advance as possible, to ensure we have the proper staffing ratio need for the safety of our service.
In order to run an effective and personalize program rely on community involvement. The easiest way for us to ensure we are catering to the needs of your children and family is suggestion and feedback. Please don't hesitate to speak to me directly with any concerns or ideas for the service. We love hearing anything that can help us exceed.
In order to access the OSHC service, families must register prior to booking. During the registration process, you will be asked to provide details such as emergency contacts, medical requirements, dietary needs, etc.
