What’s the news?

Not so much news this fortnight; the Hive has been closed whilst the team were in isolation. We’ve been staying in touch, checking in with one another and making sure that everyone smiles at least once a day! We’ve all returned three negative tests and will be back in action from Monday.

A big thank you to Andrew and to Debbie B for taking care of the 🐟 🐡 🐠 for us! 🙏

In the background, we’ve used our time to work on our Quality Improvement Plan and various internal processes; also to prepare for a larger policy review drive - which we’ll share with you soon, and ask for your input.

✅ Please mark ‘AWAY’ until end of lockdown ✅

Another reminder to mark your bookings AWAY through to the end of lockdown. The absences won’t be counted by Centrelink, and there’s no charge to you but we’ll still get the CCS payments as a form of support from the government. Thank you all for helping us out with this.

📚 Home grown fabulousness! 🏆

To celebrate Book Week (22-27 August) award-winning children’s author (and Hive mum!) Victoria, is holding a special story time session, where she’ll share her latest books with you .

Tune in at 11am next Thursday to hear Victoria read The Bark Book and The Lion Who Came to Stay. To join in, sign up right here!

Her new book Ribbit, Rabbit, Robot is also on this year’s shortlist. We have fingers crossed for you Victoria. And thanks once again for donating your wonderful books to our Hive library!!

🤔 Your suggestions… 🤔

Don’t forget - we’d love to hear what you think about The Hive.
What could we stop doing, start doing or do more of? Please take a minute to have your say…
