ELC Open Day – Thursday 1 May

We had a wonderful Open Day this morning with many families enjoying a tour of our ELC.  There will be another session this afternoon at 4pm - 6pm. We will also hold tours on Tuesdays in May from 9:30 – 11am.  Please contact the ELC if you would like to book a Tuesday tour.  If you know any families with children approaching preschool age, invite them along to have a look at our amazing ELC.  Online enrolments are open via the ELC page of the school website.

St John Vianney’s Open Days

St John Vianney’s will have an Open Day every Wednesday in May from 10:30am to 5pm and this Saturday 9:30am – 12:30pm.

Gymnastics -Term 2

The ELC children had a wonderful first week of gymnastics at Woden Valley Gymnastics next door. A fee of $90 will be added to your next account for the 10 week program. The Turtles and Stingrays will attend gym on Tuesdays this term and the Lobsters will attend on Thursdays. Children will need to remove their shoes and put them back on after the session so please provide shoes they can manage independently.

Children are invited to bring $2-$10 (in a labelled envelope) to the ELC next week to purchase a small mothers day gift. The Stingrays and Turtles will shop on Tuesday 6 May and the Lobsters on Wednesday (Shhhh, don’t tell mum!).

SJV Athletics Carnival

The ELC will be joining St John Vianney’s for their athletics carnival on Friday 16 May at Chapman Oval.  Thank you to SJV for providing a bus so that our ELC children can join in the fun. Please check your note pockets for permission notes. Please ensure the children are wearing appropriate running shoes with their ELC uniforms on that day. The ELC will provide a fruit snack for each child during the carnival. 

Message from Carla Drayton

Thank you for making me feel so welcome and I am truly blessed to be working with such an amazing group of people. I look forward to meeting more of you over the Term. I have an open door policy so please let me know if I can help in any way.
