Parents Story

This Saturday 18th September 2004, our Centre is celebrating "getting together" by attending a morning at a local park between 10.30am - 12.30pm.

Our volunteer parent management committee are arranging to provide sausages in bread and vegie burgers for all adults and children and families provide anything else they may want for the morning. We have also arranged for a childrens entertainer to attend for an hour during the get together.

We are expecting in excess of 75 people for the morning and late RSVP'S are still leaking in.

It all began with an idea to provide an informal get together during the year for families and staff to get to know each other better, with an opportunity for the children to have a different kind of fun to the one they know within our Centre, on a day they can share with their own family members. All our permanent staff members have willingly expressed their committment to be there.

The Centre is now a-hum with the forthcoming event and parents are visibly eager to attend as are the children. My feeling is one of overwhelming sense of community and goodwill.

I feel very proud to be a part of such a warm and positive community that is our small community based Centre and the people within it are fundamental to creating that feeling. Everyone is happy to pitch in and I know Saturday will be a special experience for everyone.
