    S Martin-Turley | Teacher | good shepherd

  • The kids LOVED the incursion we had with you last vacation care, so we were hoping to potentially get you in again.

    T Druitt Program Manager Camp Hill OSHC

  • The feedback from your session with our Year 1 students has been very positive. The students loved doing all of the tasks and the Year 1 team really enjoyed it too. We loved how the students were busy for the whole time, without waiting around for explanations. They understood the buildings they were creating and discussed what their towns needed. The students have loved playing with it through this week and we have got a lot of learning from it with a focus of how to care for the place.

    N Helm | Year 1 Classroom Teacher

  • It was wonderful and the students were most excited. Such a great experience. Thank you so much.
