Welcome Back

Dear Parents

We hope the winter holiday was enjoyable, and relaxing and afforded you many happy family moments. Nikki Bush writes that winter brings its own beauty. It’s a time for hibernation and ‘pulling in’, which definitely has its place. During winter scarves, copious cups of tea, hot water bottles and fires make you feel cosy and comfortable. Conversations, reflections and mulling over important (and sometimes not-so-important) issues are all part of the winter process before the next season commences.

With Spring just around the corner, we look forward to welcoming our little ones back on Wednesday, 10 July for a jam-packed winter quarter. This quarter's activities will range from special person’s days, pizza making and Grade R’s first school outing.

We want to thank our amazing staff who always work throughout the holidays to ensure everything is clean, prepared, and ready for the children.
