We are so very fortunate to have such amazing community support for our kindergartens.

This well-received gift, that began life as a display in the painting department, is with thanks to the team at Shirley Bunnings.

“What a wonderful gift,” says Head Teacher, Pat Williams. “The children were very excited and all keen to squash in and have a look!”

“Even better Bunnings are coming back to help tidy the garden around the play house and donate some plants.”

Thank you so much!
