This week we celebrated Early Childhood Educators Day, recognising the fantastic work of our early learning centre educators and the important role they play in supporting children's wellbeing, learning, and development. At St Jude’s ELC, we are blessed to have wonderful educators who fill the hearts and provoke the minds of our beautiful young people.

Thank you to all of our educators for everything you do!

Gnomes

Every year the ELC supports the Rotary Club Floriade Gnome display. We will be creating our own mini-Floriade here at the ELC. The children have been busy painting so keep an eye out for gnomes popping up in our gardens very soon.

Gymnastics

Thank you to all the families who provided feedback on the gymnastics program. It was an overwhelming ‘Yes’ to participate for a second term. So we will be heading back to Woden Valley Gymnastics on Tuesdays (Turtles and Stingrays) and Thursdays (Lobsters) in Term 4.  The cost is $80 per child for 9 sessions and will be added to your Term 4, Week 1 fees.

School Photos

School photos will take place in Term 4. Flyers with more information have been put in notes pockets.

* Stingray photos: Week 1,Tuesday 15 October

Sibling photos will be available between 8am and 9am on both days.
