Welcome to the second edition of our Community Connections Newsletter. It has been an absolute pleasure spending the past month getting to know all of our children and their interests. We would like to take this opportunity to welcome all our families back into the centre for pickups and drop offs! As of Monday, the 14th of February all families will begin dropping off their children and picking them up in our outdoor spaces. To continue to minimise the risk of the spread of Covid 19 we ask that all parents enter through reception and walk through to our outdoor space. If your child is in the Nursery an educator will meet you at their door and take them inside for you. If your child is in Junior preschool, Preschool 1, Preschool 2 or Prep we ask that you please drop off into the outdoor space. Masks are still required to be worn when entering the service.

Services Australia has information for families on their website, including:
