End of January Vacation care

Minischool vacation care program is coming to an end and will finish on Pupil free day Tuesday 27^th January for Primary and Wednesday 28^th for infants who begin school on Thursday 29^th.

So far these holidays, we have been using  papier mache to make animal money boxes. We watched as Teddy’s wearable arts costume came to life each day as he worked hard on it. There have been board game challenges, music and dancing concerts, treasure hunts and games through the Minischool gardens, drawing competitions, baking painting, playdough and biking adventures.

Everybody loves Mr. Jingles the Christmas preschool kitten. This delightful and very patient little bundle of fur has been dressed up in all sorts of dolls clothes and wheeled around in strollers. We often find him curled up in one of our children’s arms as they read a book on the bunk beds or bean bags. What a lucky little kitten!

We wish all of our graduating Preschool children the very best of luck as you begin your new adventures at ‘Big’ school.

Our Graduation afternoon tea and dinner out with the teachers was a lovely end to our preschool journey together.

We hope you enjoyed your surprise gifts and completed preschool work from your time with us.

We will miss you all so please remember to come back and visit us.

There are over 90 graduation photos on the facebook page for you to enjoy. Thanks to all of our families for attending afternoon tea to wish our outgoing class all the best.

Thankyou also to the Paradise hotel and Captain James for hosting our preschool dinner this year. Mandy, you are the best! Thanks for staying back to finish off all those scrapbooks, you are amazing & we love you ♥

We say farewell to Jen as she heads back to teach her primary class back in Australia. We now welcome Shelley Mitchell to our team. Shelley and I worked in preschools in Queensland. She also has extensive experience working as a special needs teacher aide in primary and high school and has joined the Minischool team seamlessly. Welcome, we know the children and families will love you as much as we already do.

 

Welcome to our new ‘little’ Minischoolers who have transitioned up to preschool. We know your journey will begin with wonder and will be some of the most memorable years of your lives filled with very important first and lifelong skills.

 

By now all Minischool preschool enrolment forms should be returned, If you haven’t as yet, please drop into Minischool between 8:30 and 3:30 or phone Cristina on 51862.

Welcome to Shelley!

If you haven't met Shelley yet, you are in for a treat. She has fitted perfectly into the Minischool teaching team.

Watch out though, she is magic. One day she might pop up in the Fairy garden as a fairy, the next minute she will pop out at you as a pirate!


As if Minischool wasn't fun enough already with these crazies...

along comes Crazy #3

Stay tuned for more adventures from the Minischool teaching team, we have had some funny planning sessions already. It is going to be another fabulous year!
