Important Announcements
On Monday morning, mini green thumbs helped to water and prune the garden, cutting back old vines and harvesting curry leaves. Children set up a production line to package their bountiful harvest, ready to be handed out to families at ASC.
_____
The Green Corner is nestled at the back of the hall and is home to 5 raised garden beds full of assorted herbs and seasonal produce, flowers for the bees, olive and curry trees and a lush passion fruit vine.
The garden is maintained by children and Educators and is a practical tool for developing childrens’ sense of responsibility and connection to nature. Educators support children to water, weed and debug the area as well as plant seasonal produce.
Educators team together for bi-annual working bees to apply organic seaweed fertiliser and mulch.
Children continually tend to the worm compost, harvest fruits, vegetables, and herbs to include in our program cooking activities, share with our families and give edible posies to teachers.
Nature Therapy:
We use this area as a transitional tool to support children with emotional regulation through child led exploration of the space, playing eye spy games and taste testing fresh produce.
MEDICAL EMERGENCY DRILLS
As well as running Fire and Lockdown Drills recently, practicing what to do in an emergency medical situation ensures that children and Educators are more than prepared for any real-life situation that may occur.
Last Friday, we had some EXCELLENT acting from one of our talented Seniors who simulated an asthma attack at the Fitness Circuit. We practiced how we would alert the Educators, and ensure the rest of the children were counted, calm and safe whilst someone called Emergency Services.
We are so proud of how quickly and safely the children responded to these drills. Please pass on our congratulations to them!
It's a great time to ask your child if they know how to dial 000, give their address, and seek help in an emergency. Let us know if you try a drill of your own this week!
Week 3 Captures: Valentines day cookies, go karts, 2 vs 2 soccer, floor art, emergency drills, kids feedback, french knitting, and box construction!

Jindalee SACP Testimonials
My children have been with the Jindalee School Age Care Program for three years. They both enjoy the activities the program provides, especially during the holidays. The program is run by professional and attentive staff who actively interact with the children to ensure there is never a dull moment. Having had my children at other centres prior to primary school I can say that Jindalee’s program exceeds my expectations. I can fully recommend their program.
