In our bright and air conditioned library we invite you to help develop your child’s love and understanding of learning each Wednesday morning.

Come and join our new, free Playgroup.

Each week we will choose a different picture book to read to the group.

Based on the chosen book children will take part in craft activities, creative play, singing, and ‘a discussing the book session’ with lots of time for free play.

  • Play is essential to the development of young children. When your child is given opportunities to explore, invent, reason and problem solve they are more able to understand the world.
  • Allowing them to explore a great picture book with a variety of activities in a group setting and led by our school staff will encourage your child's curiosity and hunger to learn.
  • With up to 85% of a baby's brain development occurring in the first three years, it's important we interact and engage early on.

Our Playgroup is an inclusive and welcoming environment for all families and children and is a great opportunity to socialise and build friendships. So much fun while you help you child to learn through play.

Our Playgroup runs on Wednesdays from 9.15am-10.30am in school term and starts March 13.

Children birth to school age are welcome.

Please bring a healthy fruit or vegetable snack for your child.

There is no need to register prior to attending a session, just come along on the day.
