Kids pamper mums at kinder

PRE-schoolers spent a couple of mornings last week totally pampering their mums. To celebrate Mother’s Day the Woodlands kinders started by painting nails, combing hair and applying make up. That was followed by a relaxing massage. A few tears were shed when the youngsters joined together to sing 'You are my Sunshine' before it was time for afternoon tea and some hand-made presents. Woodlands Pre-school
puts on its pre-Mother’s Day pampering every year and always proves a hit with the mums. The pre-school, which has a rating of ‘Exceeding’ in all seven quality areas of the National Quality Framework, will be having an open day on Wednesday May 20 from 2pm to 3pm and then a Kinder in Action morning on Tuesday May 26 from 9.30am to 10.30am. Enrolment forms are available from the kinder at 15 Wyatt Street or email woodlands@ kindergarten.vic.gov.au.

House banners unveiled
BELLARINE students have unveiled their new house banners at their packed school assembly. Staff said it had been a
long process to get to the finish but that the house leaders and staff involved were “very excited and pleased with the final
product”. The year long process started with students being asked to design a mascot for their houses which has
culminated in the final design and production. Both the Ocean Grove lower campus and Drysdale upper campus
have the same designs. The different house mascots are the Swan, Corio, Lonsdale and Nepean.
