Remembrance Day

Our preschool students joined together with friends from the primary school this week to commemorate Remembrance Day.  The children showed great reverence and stillness for this event

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; 
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 
At the going down of the sun and in the morning 
We will remember them."

It was also an opportunity to meet Mrs Marmont our new St Anthony’s Parish Primary School Principal.  Mrs Marmont had a guided tour of the ELC and answered all our burning questions including what her favourite cake and ice-cream flavours are.  For the record vanilla cake and neapolitan ice-cream.

Thank you to our wonderful community who continue to adhere strictly to our Covid restrictions at drop off and pick up time.  Your support is very much appreciated. 

A reminder as the weather warms up to ensure your child is wearing sunscreen to preschool and it is always useful to have a spare change of (labelled) clothes in your child’s bag.  On wet weather days they are welcome to bring gumboots and a raincoat.
