Monday Lunchtime Craft/Lego

Monday Lunchtime Craft/Lego will commence in Week 3 as I am on leave for Monday of Week 2. It is organised by class rotation throughout the term.

Deployment Groups

Are held on Tuesday and Wednesday lunchtimes (after eating time). Please let me know if your family has a Defence parent away (whether it be deployment, course or exercise) and your child would like to attend the Deployment Group.

Relaxation Sessions

Relaxation sessions will be organised by class rotation throughout the term commencing in Week 2. Relaxation occurs during quiet reading time after lunch and is voluntary. Relaxation sessions help children build resilience and coping skills using techniques of deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation and imagery.

Defence Families of Australia

Defence Families Australia (DFA) want to hear from ADF families about the issues they are facing. In August each year, DFA meet with Defence policymakers in Canberra including CDF, Service Chiefs and the Minister for Defence Personnel and so they are now reviewing what's happening in the local Defence Communities. DFA plan to advocate for the programs that most benefit families and the issues that most affect families.          Emma Steil is the Canberra Region DFA Delegate so if you have feedback, contact her via email at act.sthnsw@dfa.org.au or Facebook
