Creative Play equipment – Call out for donations!
There are many benefits of creative play. At Good Shepherd, we recognise this and are committed to continuing to foster it amongst our learners. The children at Good Shepherd enjoy using the creative play equipment that is available.
From time to time, as items become ‘well used’, damaged or broken, our creative play equipment needs replenishing. This is where we’d like your help! Do you have any of the following items that you no longer use that you could potentially donate?
Items may include:
- matchbox cars, toy trucks, diggers etc
- sandpit toys (eg spades, rakes etc)
- small pieces of timber
- bed sheets for cubby making
- board/card games (complete sets only please)
- cutlery, cups, bowls (sturdy plastic or metal only please)
- kitchen utensils (nothing sharp)
- buckets (preferably durable plastic)
In addition, if you have any electrical or battery-operated items that are no longer working, please don’t throw them away. These items can be used for our tinkering investigations. These items may include:
- computer/tech objects
- kitchen/bathroom appliances
- hand tools (eg working screwdrivers, allen keys, spanners etc)
You may have something else that you think may be of use. Please let us know about it. 😊
Thank you in advance.

This coming Sunday from 4pm!
We are getting ready to make a splash! It would be great for young people to bring a hat, bathers/ rash vest/ shorts and a towel for our water themed activities... as well as a change of clothes for our worship and meal that follows. Please note: If it happens to be too wet (i.e. raining) we will have some alternate indoor activities ready to go. Think about who you might like to invite... See you Sunday!
Coffee and Connect
Shhh... Our wonderful staff will be acknowledged, along with school staff everywhere, next week on World Teachers’ Day... I need a little help... with a little something...
If you have a few minutes tomorrow during our Coffee and Connect time slot, I’d love to see you. Of course, there will be coffee, tea and conversation!
Join us from 8:30am in the church café. You might like to invite someone along... You never know how you might change someone’s day (for the better) just by turning up and having a chat!
Enter via the courtyard. Toddlers are welcome (there is a small playground for them to play in; we just ask that you keep an eye on them for safety reasons).
Love to see you tomorrow!
