“connecting our community”
In local news, the Australian Breastfeeding Association has asked us to publicise an event they are running, a free baby massage session in Preston, as part of celebrations for World Breastfeeding Week.
The event will be held on Friday 9th August, 10am - 12pm at Donald Street Community Hall - 18 Donald St, Preston.
If you are interested in attending you will need to register, as there are space limitations.
You can book free tickets and find out more information from this link.
If you have family doing VCE you might be interested in booking them in to our simulated exam experiences on Saturday mornings throughout October.
They can bring a practise exam paper or two along and we’ll provide 3 hours of strictly timed active supervision to help students:
Get on with actually doing some practise exams
Get used to managing their time in exams, and
Feel more comfortable with formal exam conditions.
Sounds good? Book in here. The sessions will run from 9am-12pm. The cost is $15.
Did you know we have a toy library at ACC?
It is an amazing community resource that has been running for many years.
It costs $45 +gst a year to join and you can borrow up to 4 toys at a time for a 2 week period.
We have a super range of indoor and outdoor toys you can borrow, fist bikes, scooters, walkers, party kits, musical instruments , puzzles and more. Our toys are suitable for children from birth through kinder.
Toy libraries are a great way to try toys out before you buy … and to ensure your house doesn’t become overrun with things. They are also great for the planet 🌍 - reducing waste.
Our toy library is now fully online and you can book your toys anytime, then collect them on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning.
We have grandparents as members along with parents. Join up today.
Last year we got a grant from the Community Bank on Queens Parade, and with it we built a playstation - a bit different from the tiny ones on our fence - but just as fun!
This one stands by itself - and it includes doors and peep holes, and features famous art, and little bags of treasures, along with spot the difference games … and more.
We had it out for our end of year market last year, but with our backyard complete it has found a new permanent (or semi-permanent) home under our verandah.
Next time you are here with kids pop and out the back and take a look. It is super creative (thanks Lee)! And provides hours of cute fun.
ACC is a fabulous location for your child’s next birthday 🎂 party.
🎈You can hire our main room and new undercover deck for 4 hours on a Sunday morning or afternoon and also utilise our kitchen facilities and catering equipment - a great way to avoid cleaning your own house/apartment and host a super low stress party!
We have cute tables and stools that accommodate 12 little ones seated. The space is suitable for up to 30 guests.
You can find all the details and dates available here.
