A Mini Christmas Message


Minischool Educational Preschool

Would like to wish all of our families an very Merry Christmas and thanks for your support of our brand new educational experience throughout 2013.
 We also thank the Norfolk Island community for your encouragement and offering your help & businesses for excursions and supplies throughout the year.

The children have absorbed and learned so much throughout the year through our thematic preschool teaching.

We look forward to our preschool graduation ceremony in January and wish our big boys heading to big school many happy school adventures to come.

 

There are a few limited vacancies at Minischool in 2014 contact Cristina on (+6723) 51862 or norfolkislandphotos@gmail.com for more information. We also have a short waiting list for 2015 and 2016 (already!) If you are interested.

If you would like to visit Minischool at anytime, please give us a ring to let us know when you would like to view our preschool.

Our Preschool year finishes on Friday 20th of December. We return on the 6th of January for preschool vacation care to help our working parents out, these are the only 2 weeks we close each year. Children from 2 and a half (toilet trained) to 6 years olds are welcome to join in the fun in the January holidays.

 

We have received wonderful feedback from the community via these newspaper articles. To read our monthly updates and view our photos, please visit our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/minischoolpreschool

 

With love from Cristina, Mandy, Lauren, Peri-Peri and all the Minischoolers.

Have a safe New Year and we look forward to seeing you all in January 2014.

Christmas crafts aplenty


We have started our Christmas countdown. See the photos on my personal family blog

I was proud of the Minischoolers for rising to my challenge of sewing with tapestry needles onto our mesh Christmas trees.
I made this craft up over 15 years ago for my pre-school class on the Sunshine coast. Many of that class finished high school this year!

Here are some good links for Christmas crafts.
