We began the month with Flanno for a Farmer on Friday, 14th August. Thanks tothe generosity of our wonderful families, we raised $55 for this fantastic cause. We truly appreciateeveryone who supported and contributed.
Our BookFair and Book Week celebrations were also a highlight. The childrenloved browsing the books and choosing special stories, and they lookedfantastic in their creative costumes! We saw sheep, penguins, Paddington Bearand many other colourful characters. It was wonderful to see the children’sexcitement and love of books.
Father’s Day is just around the corner, and the childrenhave been very busy creating some special gifts for their dads, grandads andother special father figures in their lives.

With the Warmer Months ahead
As part of our educational program, we run fire, bush fire,lockdown and snake drills regularly throughout the year. This month we will befocusing on our snake drills. Snakes are most prevalent during Spring or Summerbut could be encountered at any time of the year- especially on sunny days.
Unprovoked, snakes rarely attack humans and are generally shy,timid animals that will avoid conflict if given the opportunity. Snakes are protected under the NatureConservation Act 1992 and it is an offence to kill or injure them. The greatestrisk of snake bite from venomous snakes is from people trying to kill or handlethem.
Our Service is committed to providing a safe and healthyenvironment for children and staff whilst being respectful of wildlife in andaround our environment. We aim to minimise the potential risk of injury from asnake bite by educating children and staff about the risks associated withsnakes.
