ELC NEWS

This term the ELC children have been enjoying their Mystery readers via video links.  Thank you to all of you who were able to film yourselves, family members or friends reading a book.  Some videos included the whole family, others included props and some featured the ELC child.  As we continue to limit visitors in the ELC, we hope the video mystery readers continue to arrive in our inboxes. Our team are currently critically reflecting on the changes and adjustments that have implemented due to Covid-19.  These changes will remain in place in to term 3.  Thank you to those of you who have already emailed feedback to us. Further feedback from families would be much appreciated! Please send your feedback to elc.stjudes@cg.catholic.edu.au

Covid-19 adjustments - Thank you for adapting to our changed pick up and drop off routines via the side gate.  For the safety of children, families and staff, we ask that parents/carers and non-essential visitors do not enter the ELC building.  Please remember to follow social distancing rules while waiting at the gate.

Unwell Children – Unwell children are required to stay at home. Please email the ELC to let us know if your child is unwell.

ELC Holiday Program - The ELC will be running a Holiday Program for July school holidays for ELC children.  The first week of the program celebrates NODOC Week with art, music and movement and group games just to name a few of the planned activities.  Information about the program and booking forms will be available at the ELC office. 

Government Relief Package extended – The Australian Government has extended the Early Childhood Education and Care Relief Package until 12 July (to correspond with the CCS financial year).  Therefore, no 'gap fees' will be charged for the remainder of this term or the first week of Holiday Care.  Normal fees will apply after 12 July.  If you have any queries in relation to your account, please phone or email the ELC.
