Term 2, it is timely to say a huge thank you to all families for all your support and consideration of the COVID 19 restrictions that have Enquiries to: Jessie Holmes 5398 0101 or [email protected] been introduced at Kindergarten over the past months. Never before have families been excluded from Kindergartens, asked to drop children off at the gate on arrival and pick up from there on departure. And certainly never before have Educators been asked to teach children about social distancing and only allow two children to sit at a table something that goes against nearly every four year olds’ natural instinct. But our world has changed and for everyone’s safety this is where Kindergarten has landed. Your patience in keeping your children home if possible, even if you know a sniffle is nothing, has meant that we have kept all children and educators safe and we all thank you for that. Have a great holiday everyone, staff, children and families. Yarriambiack Shire Council appreciates all your fantastic support. See you in Term 3.
