👋 LIVE FROM THE HIVE … 👋

NEW PLAY EQUIPMENT

Whilst we are all extremely excited to be enjoying the brand new play equipment, please remember that children should not be using it after they have been signed out. Families must leave the school grounds once children have been collected and signed out.

HIVE GARDEN

A huge THANK YOU to David, Clarissa and Ida, volunteer parents who mobilised rapidly and spent 4 hours on Friday morning weeding and tidying the garden, getting it ready to once again be visited and tended to by the Hive children in the coming months. What a transformation - it’s already looking sooooo much better! We’re excited to get our Gardening Club up and running again in the next week or two - watch this space for more details….

STAFF UPDATES

As our wonderful centre grows, naturally so does our team. This fortnight, we welcome two new Educators on board and we celebrate expanded roles for three existing team members:

Welcome: LEROY is studying a Bachelor of Furniture Design, and brings with him a warm, gentle energy and a passion for building and construction, as well as arts and crafts.
Welcome: BEN is studying a Bachelor of Management, majoring in sport business, and has a passion for all things sports - specifically Soccer - which he plays a lot, in his spare time.
Congratulations! ASHA becomes our new YEAR 1 STAGE LEAD
Congratulations! JENA is our new YEAR 2 STAGE LEAD
We also welcome COACH MATT into his new role as COORDINATOR, and Y4-6 STAGE LEAD

Sadly, we say goodbye to our beloved LAUREN, who leaves us this week for an exciting new helicopter piloting job at Sydney Airport. Lozza, you have been such an incredible part of our team these past 3 years. You will be sorely missed... but we are so excited for you as you embark on this new adventure!!
