It is an exciting time of year as the ELC children begin their formal transition to primary school.  Many of the children attended the Kinder Orientation Day at St Jude’s yesterday morning. They enjoyed getting to know their kinder teachers, Mrs Henry, Mrs Thiele and Mrs Feerick and meeting some new friends. A few weeks ago, children heading to St John Vianney’s also enjoyed their Orientation morning with Mrs Thomas. It’s been wonderful to watch their independence and confidence grow this year and we trust they will have a smooth transition to primary school.  It was wonderful to welcome next year’s ELC children at our ELC Orientation Day yesterday also.

For our children heading off to SJV next year, we have been able to organise buddie visits. We showed the Year 5 SJV students our centre on Monday and are very excited for them to visit us for a play again tomorrow morning.

ELC Tea towels – ELC tea towels (misprinted with the primary school logo rather than the ELC logo) are available from the ELC for $5 each. These will make a great gift for Christmas!
