2021 Term 4 Wk 1-2 - Environment, Sculptures & Art

/

đź”” Term 4 is here! đź””

…and with it the staged return to school, starting 18th October. We’re anticipating that many children will need extra support and here’s what we’re doing to be ready:

  • opportunity for the kids to identify and share how they’re feeling at the start of the afternoon, in a safe space, using visual cards. It’ll help us identify who needs a little TLC that day

  • plenty of opportunities and areas for quiet time and restful play and chilling

  • the program will always include one dedicated calming activity

  • the 4pm meeting will start with a breathing exercise for all children

  • a focus on slow release energy foods to help kids feel good through to the end of the day

  • where possible, we’ll roster additional staff for the first few weeks to offer extra support

  • all kids will be reminded of the rules, of how to be together and of what friends should expect from one another

âś‹ IMPORTANT : no parents on site âś‹

Parents are not allowed on school grounds for the time being, so all drop-offs and pick-ups will happen at the Warners Avenue gate. Handover of children must always be between parents & Hive staff. Failure to hand over safely incurs a $15 penalty fee. Please help us to keep the kids secure, thank you.

For more detailed morning and afternoon process, please see email sent Sat 16 Oct.

🛑 No more gap fee waiver 🛑

From 25th October, there is no more gap fee waiver:

  • all absences against permanent bookings will be charged

  • non-notified absences also incur a $15 penalty fee

  • casual bookings can be cancelled any time before the start of the session, without charge

  • deadline for online changes (cancel casual or mark permanent spot AWAY) is 12pm the day prior. After that, email us or call 0450 896 686

Our new friends at Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club. Club president Brent was in the vicinity of our evacuation assembly point on the night of the fire back in June, and his committee have since voted to offer us use of their premises for future emergency evacuations. This is great news if it’s dark, or wet or we need to move out of sight of the school. Beautiful show of community support - thank you Brent and Bondi SBLSC
