Edition Two Contributions: Due 30^th August at your centre

Parents & Staff are invited to attend an asthma management course at our Burton St centre on Friday 9^th August. The course will run from 12.30 to approximately 3.30 at no charge to participants.

Fairies, pirates, geniis, police, builders, animals, superheroes and more……  Look out for all of these at Occasional Care in the coming months as our new dress ups & accessories arrive. Each centre will have a store of new costumes, as well as a box of outfits & accessories to share between the centres. Most of our previous dress ups were looking a bit sad so we’re adding to the collection and will happily accept donations of other suitable clothes & props for our children’s use. Playing dress ups encourages imagination and role-playing, as well as enhancing the skills of dressing themselves, and most preschoolers love doing it.

$$$$$$$ For everybody not at the June general meeting, do you know that the committee has decided not to charge the $6 fundraising levy this term? The levy is still in place (especially for terms one & two for those who haven’t yet paid) but we have the funds to cover it this term. The issue of fundraising vs a fundraising levy will be discussed at next year’s AGM as there are members who feel strongly about this.
