Pre-schools’ Update – Week 6

Dear Pre-school Families,

We have had another joyful and productive week at Pre-school! The children continue to grow in confidence, curiosity and connection as they explore their world through play, learning and friendships.

On Friday, we are excited to welcome a special Aboriginal Experience Incursion for our 2-day class at St Michael’s, where the children will engage in storytelling, music and cultural learning. This enriching opportunity supports our commitment to acknowledging and learning from the oldest continuing cultures in the world, while building connections with the wider community.

As some families may be aware, each Monday we are fortunate to welcome two student volunteers from Ascham School to each of our Pre-school campuses. These students will spend a couple of hours engaging with the children alongside the teachers and experiencing Pre-school life. We are grateful for this growing relationship with the broader community and look forward to the positive contributions of our Ascham visitors.

A reminder for families of the St Mark’s and St Michael’s 3 day and 5-day groups.
