Editors Notice Board

Banyule & Nillumbik Hello and Welcome to our May issue, Recently I read a quote about motherhood “The moment your created another human, was the moment you chose to spend the rest of your life putting somebody else before yourself”.

I couldn’t put it better, mothers are always thinking of their children. I hope your family spoils you, especially with lots of hugs and kisses. We certainly wish you a Very Happy Mothers’ Day. This month Education Week runs from the 17th to 23rd.

The theme this year is ‘Crack the Code with Maths’ Look at the Education Department website for ideas, activities and events that you and your child can get involved in.

We have some great reading this month with an article on self care tips for Mother’s Day on page 4.

What’s on...
