ELC
Yesterday we were fortunate enough to have some firemen visit us with their fire truck. Aidan’s dad, Gareth was able to bring his team from the station to show us the ins and outs of a fire truck. We were even lucky enough to be able to spray the hose! The highlight was the siren as the firemen took off back to the station ready to combat fires, save cats from trees and rescue people from car accidents.
SJV Buddies – Last week our SJV Year 5 buddies came to visit us. These visits are incredibly beneficial to our ELC children as they start to make connections with their new school. It is great that they will have a familiar face to help guide them on their first day of primary school.
ELC Tea towels – 
Thank you to the families who helped raise money through the ELC tea towels. We have purchased class sets of Hi-Viz vests to wear when we are off site on excursions or exploring our natural environments. 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!
Last Day of Term - The last day of Term 4 is Thursday 19 December. The ELC will be running one day of holiday care for current ELC children on Friday 20 December. Booking forms will be available at the ELC soon.
ELC Fees – As we are approaching the end of the year, prompt payment of fees would be appreciated. It is important that you check your account balance to ensure you are paying the correct amount.
Earn and Learn Stickers – Earlier this year we collected Earn and Learn stickers to support St Mary’s school in Batlow. Last week they received their order which included many different Lego sets, musical instruments, literacy and maths resources and much more. (This photo is only a small portion of what was received). These resources will benefit St Mary’s students and teachers. Thank you to all the families who supported this initiative.
