Some of the children at Little Stars got their creative hats on, making poppies for ANZAC Day.
We’re so proud of the effort and teamwork they showed while creating something special together. Their beautiful wreath will be placed at the Feilding Cenotaph tomorrow.

Little stars would like to thank some of our hard working parents Andrea and Ricky who organised a motorbike ride fundraiser last weekend. Thank you to everyone who came and supported us, all the money raised goes directly to benefiting the children who attend programs at little stars. Thanks to the other parent who helped on the BBQ. It's takes a village to create change and we couldn't do it without our dedicated parents 🏍️
