2022-01-15 10:30 - 12:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Queen Elizabeth Reserve, Lindfield, 19-43 Bradfield Rd, Lindfield, NSW, 2070, Australia
Some of you have expressed interest in a little meetup – students and families – to get to know each other before school starts. So, we thought we’d suggest this Saturday 15 January 10:30am at Queen Elizabeth Reserve, Lindfield. BYO coffee and have a chat in the open air! Which is all we can really do at the moment 😷. We hope you enjoy getting to know each other – some of the younger stages have met up this past weekend and we’ve had lots of feedback on how great people have found the opportunity to connect! Any questions, just shout out.
Your, Friends of the Village 💕

Dear Kindy Parents,
Wow winter holidays are nearly here and so is our third event for Term 2!
To make this event more special and interactive, yes we are taking our Kindy Families to the farm. This is where our Kindys get to cuddle chicks, ducklings and rabbits and even have a go at milking a cow. Feed the animals, visit the chooks and go free range in their open paddock. Wait, they have extra pony rides and a diggerzone too!
At the moment due to COVID restrictions we can’t have more than 35 guests (including adults, children and infants) per session booking; so we have two dates to choose from (20/6 and 27/6).
Please book via the SignUp Genius link that was sent to you via email.
Let’s continue to get more involved in activities, build friendships and connect with more families on this exciting journey at LLV.
Your Kindy Stage Socialite,
Sugandha
