Birthday Celebrations at the ELCC |
On Saturday 28 April, our Early Learning and Community Centre turned four years old.
To celebrate, ELCC students enjoyed a small party on Monday afternoon, where they were treated to cake and lots of balloons!
In reflection, over the last four years it has been wonderful to see children and families enjoy what the centre offers and the successful transition to school for these children. The highlight each day is seeing the children walk in with big smiles and the way in which they interact and learn through play with their friends.
We look forward to many more successful years and welcoming new families to the centre.

I grew up in a house my parents built on top of an old shearers quarters. We had paddocks around us filled with crops and cattle as far as the eye could see. On the horizon I could see the Canunda range, where the windfarms now sit. As a kid living 10 km’s from the nearest town, we relied on the outdoors to entertain us...
