Our Easter Hat Parade was a wonderful success! The children had an amazing day celebrating and showing off their creative hats. They proudly walked around the bike path, sharing their fantastic designs with everyone.

We also enjoyed a very special morning tea, followed by a party lunch and delicious cupcakes, making the day even more memorable.

A big congratulations to our hat parade winners, who were presented with a small prize for their outstanding creations. Be sure to check out all the incredible hats that were made!

We would also like to say a heartfelt thank you to all the family members who attended and helped make the day so special. 🐣🎩

We hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Easter!

In 2026, our service is excited to celebrate the many cultures that make up our community. Throughout the year, we will be sharing information, engaging in meaningful learning experiences, and hosting special events that reflect and respect a variety of cultural traditions. These celebrations will be highlighted on our curriculum event calendar and embedded into our everyday learning.

Our first upcoming event will be Australia Day, where children will have the opportunity to explore what it means to live in Australia, learn about its history and culture, and celebrate the diversity that makes our country so special. Educators will be facilitating age-appropriate activities that encourage inclusion, belonging, and respect for all cultures.

If your family celebrates a special cultural event, tradition, or has a culture you would like to share, we would love for the children to participate and learn. Please let Jess know if you are interested in being involved or sharing ideas with us.

We warmly invite families to join in our celebrations. Please see the flyer below for further details about our Australia Day event.

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all children and families.

Kind regards,
Jessica Monte
