The final countdown!

Dear Families

It has been such a busy year and we are finally on the home stretch! I am sure each and everyone of us is looking forward to some well deserved R&R and spending time with our families and loved ones. 

Just a reminder to please let us know if your child will be taking holidays over the January break so that we can apply the holiday leave rate. Please send us an email.

At the end of the year we will be saying goodbye and good luck to a few of our beloved staff members. 

Miss Karla and Mrs Schmidt will be taking the next year off as they welcome new babies into their families -  Miss Karla's first and Mrs Schmidt's second. We look forward to meeting the new additions to our PAC community!

Miss Jain White has decided to pack her bags and set off on a 3 month European holiday - lucky Jain. She hopes to be back in April to join our relief list and also try to gain a teaching position. Happy travels Jain. We look forward to seeing your holiday snaps!

Miss Tiarna will be putting her head into the Uni books and focusing on her studies. Good luck with your teaching degree Tiarna and thanks for all of your help and support since you've been at the ELC. 

Miss Emma Gray will be with us for the January holidays but then leaving us to travel to the UK to take up a teaching position for one year. We wish Emma all the best as she adds to her 'toolbox' of teaching tricks! See you when you get back. 

Congratulations to Miss Emily who has been studying for the past few years and has successfully completed her Diploma of Children's Services. Well done Emily. 

Miss Mason was married on the weekend and is now enjoying a 5 week honeymoon in the US. She returns to us on the 21st January. Happy honeymoon, Kim.
