My name is Felicity and I am the Director of the Preschool. I put together this information "Padlet" which aims to keep families informed and up to date with preschool events, news and information. For some time now the teachers, educators and staff at GCP have been using "Padlet" as a way of sharing information and resources. It's a great way of keeping information all in one place - easy to find and refer back to if needed. We will use this Padlet to share term calendars, newsletters, health notices, special events, information and articles of interest and more. We also welcome questions, comments and feedback from families.

The sharing of stories with each other has been a way throughout history and across cultures that people can form connections with and learn from one another. We love to find ways to form a bridge between a child's home life and preschool as we know that this helps children feel that their world (and the people in it) matters. Displaying photos, drawings and stories in our preschool entry - way (foyer) is a wonderful and simple way to build these connections.
