PLAYGROUP PROGRAM - Prep 2023

We are extending the Transition to Prep Playdate Program to commence later this term. Invitations will be sent to local Early Childhood Education Centres and shared via the School Newsletter and DoJo. This will be a once per week 1.5hr program (9:30-10:45 for program and 10:45-11:15 pack up). Our Teacher Aide, Jo Keehan has successfully run this program for many years and it has been recognised by parents to be a valuable part of their child’s transition to Prep. We are looking for a parent/group of parents who may be willing to provide their time each week to support this program. They will be mentored by Jo Keehan and Judy Loudon (HOD Curriculum). Please email admin@newfarmss.edu.au if you are interested in helping out with this initiative.
