End of Year Concert  

This year the end of year concert and graduation ceremony will be on Saturday 17th December and Wangi Workers Club starting at 4pm and finishing approximately 6pm. Drinks will be available from the bar but PLEASE NOTE: Adults are NOT to take alcohol into the auditorium as this is a children’s concert and the club will not allow it. The staff will be staying after the concert for dinner and all families are more than welcome to join us. It is important to ensure that you are at the club by 4pm as the concert will start at 4:15pm.

Christmas Raffle

Staff have begun placing raffle tickets in the children’s lockers and tickets will also be available for sale on the night. Tickets are on sale for $1.00 each or 3 for $2.00. If we call out someone’s name and they are not at the concert the ticket will be redrawn. The raffle will be drawn after the concert and before the graduation ceremony.

It’s Party Time    

The last week of the year is “Party week” Staff will provide the children with lunch every day in the last week and we will also celebrate the end of the year with some party food. Lunch will be hot dogs and the children will have the choice of adding cheese and sauce. Please see staff if you do not wish for your child to participate in these celebrations. Parents are still to supply morning tea for their child/ren.

Monthly Policy Review

This month we will be reviewing our Food Safety and Hygiene and Children with Additional Needs Policies. You will find a copy of these policies on the notice board in the Kookaburra room. Please take the time to read the policies and pass on your feed back to Tamara. Copies of policies are also available upon request at any time.

2012 Enrolments

We are still waiting on some families to return their 2012 enrolment request forms. Please hand these back to staff as soon as possible to ensure you get the desired days for your child/ren in 2012.

It’s Time to Say Goodbye

It’s that time of year where the staff make sure we are stocked up on the tissues. We would like to take this opportunity to say a HUGE THANKYOU to all of our wonderful families for a great year. We would also like to wish our friends, who are leaving for big school, all the best. We are sure you will have a great time, make new friends and continue to build on your knowledge. It has been a pleasure working with you all and we hope you can come back and visit in 2012.

Fees

Parents are to ensure their fees are paid in full by the end of this year. If your account is in credit Brett will refund this along with your security bond via cheque and you should receive this early in 2012.

Christmas break
