👋 LIVE FROM THE HIVE … 👋

Welcome back, everyone, to another exciting year at The Hive! This year, we’re bigger and better than ever, with our highest enrollment yet. Our center is growing, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!

EMERGENCY EVACUATION

Every term, we conduct emergency drills to ensure that all children are familiar with the necessary procedures. Participation in these drills is essential, as it helps everything run smoothly in the event of a real emergency.

This term, our evacuation drill is scheduled for Tuesday, March 4th, between 3:30 and 4:30 PM. If you need to collect your child during these hours, email us and we will arrange for them to stay at the centre during the drill.

**UPDATE: We will now include our Year K children in the drill, and they will leave the school with the rest of the children.
All those attending Tuesday extracurricular activities will remain at the centre during the drill.

WAITLISTS

A quick note on waitlists. We are not offering permanent bookings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays for the remainder of Term 1.

TEAM UPDATE

We’re excited to welcome the amazing Serena to our growing team! She’s beginning her degree in Primary Education this year and is eager to learn and grow with us. We're very excited to have her warm energy on the team!! Welcome Serena!

CWA'S

Your Complying Written Agreement (CWA) with the HIVE is the key process to ensuring you receive your Childcare Subsidy (CCS) correctly whilst your child is in care. A Complying Written Arrangement (CWA) is an agreement to provide care in return for fees. All child enrolments at the HIVE must have an agreed CWA for the family to be eligible for CCS. You can find more information about how to to complete your CWA here.
