ELC, Term 2 Week 10 2026
A Moment to Pause and Celebrate
As we reach the halfway point of the academic year, it’s a wonderful time to reflect on just how much our ELC children have grown. Their curiosity, confidence, and independence has blossomed over the past two terms, and we are incredibly proud of the progress each child has made.
Last week marked the conclusion of our Term 2 Transition Program. The children moving into new learning spaces next term have embraced the experience with enthusiasm, courage, and joy and are well prepared for a successful start when Term 3 begins. During our ELC disco sessions, the children delighted in expressing themselves through movement, exploring rhythm, creativity and confidence on the dance floor. These joyful moments of dance allowed them to celebrate their individuality while connecting with their peers in an energetic, playful way.
With the break now upon us, we wish all families a restful and rejuvenating three weeks, filled with connection, play, and time with loved ones. For those joining us for Holiday Care, we look forward to welcoming you and sharing more fun and learning together.
A reminder that ELC will be closed on Monday 20 July for cleaning and staff professional development. We look forward to seeing everyone back, refreshed and ready for a wonderful Term 3, on Tuesday 21 July.
Wishing all our families a safe and happy break.
