Combined Pre-schools of the Southern Grampians


The Coleraine & District Kindergarten Executive Committee are happy to inform the community that a final decision has been made and the Coleraine Kindergarten will be joining the Combined Pre-schools of the Southern Grampians in 2017; on the proviso that monies remain with the local branch of the Bendigo Bank.

After extensive investigation and discussions with the cluster organisation and their representatives coming to General Meetings, parents, community members, local kindergartens and past and present early childhood staff and an open meeting on the 19th of October for discussion, a Special meeting was held on the 15th November 2016 and an official vote of the General Committee was taken. A clear result from the vote was to move to a cluster for the management of the Coleraine Kindergarten.

This does not mean there is not a need for parent involvement. A Site Committee is still required and will be responsible in ensuring the Kindergarten is still run in accordance with the best interest for the Community and the parents, carers and children attending.

If there are any questions or anyone requires more clarification on what this means for the Kindergarten and the Community please contact Georgina Templeton (President), Rhianna Paton (Treasurer) or Tanya McLachlan (Secretary) through the above phone number, leave a message and we will be happy to clarify any queries you have.  The CPSG website is: http://www.cpsg.org.au/ for further information.
