A successful 'Family Night'

Thank you to the following people for organising our second successful 'Family Night' on a busy weekend that coincided with our first catering event for the year:

Fundraising: Beccy Wishart

Fundraising sub-committee: Jana Peterson, Benita Lambert, Kristy Iredell, Andrea Munro, Shannyn McElgunn

All our staff: Josie, Maree, Charleen and Jo who decorated the kindergarten

Along with the children from both groups who well and truly embraced the 'Spooky' theme brought about by the Friday the thirteenth date!

Thank you to all the families who supplied items for the catering, as remember, our 'Three-year Old Group' programme receives NO government funding and is paid for entirely by jobs such as these and sponsorship, such as that provided by the generosity of the Bendigo Bank with its $5000 in 2016, sought by the volunteers on the Committee of Management. This includes staff teaching wages and professional development costs, electricity and other services, art and craft supplies, rates on the building, maintenance and so on. Jobs such as these also subsidise the costs of the 'Four-year Old Group' programme, including the above as well as providing the resources that make our kindergarten such a wonderful environment for learning, like the mud kitchen, shade sail, water wall and garden landscaping project.
