Mrs Putt

Next week we will farewell Mrs Putt as she heads off to begin her teaching career. Jacinta Putt has been a huge asset to our ELC, bringing with her a wealth of knowledge, dedication to working with young people and families, and a passion for teaching and learning.

Lobster class family get together

The Lobster class rep, Lynda, has organised a casual get together for the families of the Lobster class. They will be meeting at the Boundless Playground in Parkes this Sunday 6 April, 2pm – 4pm.

Gymnastics -Term 2

We are very lucky to have a facility like Woden Valley Gymnastics Centre right next door. In term 2, the ELC children will attend a weekly gymnastics class run by qualified instructors at the gym. Check your notes pockets for permission notes. A fee of $90 will be added to your account for the 10 week program. The Turtles and Stingrays will attend on Tuesdays and the Lobsters will attend on Thursdays. Please ensure all students are dressed appropriately for gymnastics on those days. Children will need to remove their shoes and put them back on after the session so please provide shoes they can manage independently.

Project Compassion Donations

Throughout Lent, we will focus on the importance of prayer and doing kind things for others, and we will be participating in Project Compassion to help people living in poverty.  ELC families are invited to donate.  Project Compassion boxes are located on the prayer table in each classroom and children will be able to contribute during morning class prayer. Thank you for your generous donations to the Project Compassion so far. It’s wonderful to see the children embracing the values of kindness and sharing through this project.
