🌟 Special Visitor at Goodstart Cathies Lane! 🌟

On Tuesday 9th of June 2026 we welcomed Mary Doyle MP, Federal Member for Aston, to Goodstart Cathies Lane.

During her visit, Ms Doyle presented our Kinder 3 children with their Kinder 3 packs and spent time reading a story with them. The children thoroughly enjoyed sharing this special experience and engaging in conversations about books and learning.

To thank Ms Doyle for visiting, each room proudly presented her with a handmade gift, showcasing the children's creativity and appreciation.

We thank Mary Doyle MP for taking the time to visit our centre and support our young learners. It was a wonderful morning enjoyed by children, educators, and families alike.

🌏✨ Our Mandarin Program at Cathies Lane ✨🌏

🌏✨ Cathies Lane 的中文项目 ✨🌏

Our Mandarin Program continues to be a wonderful part of our learning journey, providing children with opportunities to explore language, culture, music, and meaningful connections through play-based experiences.

我们的中文项目持续成为孩子们学习旅程中精彩的一部分，通过丰富的游戏化体验，让孩子们探索语言、文化、音乐，并建立有意义的人际联系。

We are incredibly fortunate to have three passionate educators leading these experiences across our centre. 💛

我们非常幸运拥有三位充满热情的教育工作者，在中心内带领孩子们开展丰富多彩的中文学习活动。💛

🎵 Ann incorporates Mandarin into her daily program through songs, routines, and meaningful interactions, helping children build familiarity and confidence with the language in a natural and engaging way.
🎵 Ann 将中文融入日常课程，通过歌曲、日常活动和有意义的互动，以自然且有趣的方式帮助孩子们熟悉中文，并建立学习中文的信心。

🌸 Chelsea brings both language and culture to life, creating experiences that help children develop an appreciation for different traditions, customs, and ways of communicating.
🌸 Chelsea 将语言与文化生动地结合在一起，通过丰富的学习体验，帮助孩子们了解不同的传统、习俗和沟通方式，培养他们对多元文化的欣赏与尊重。

👶 Hongli works closely with our youngest learners, engaging them through songs, sensory experiences, and hands-on activities.
👶 Hongli 与我们最年幼的孩子们紧密互动，通过歌曲、感官探索和动手实践活动，让孩子们在轻松愉快的环境中接触和学习中文。

Together, Ann, Chelsea, and Hongli have created a rich and engaging program that supports children's language development while fostering cultural awareness and inclusion. We love seeing the excitement and enthusiasm the children bring to each session as they learn new words, songs, and traditions.

Ann、Chelsea 和 Hongli 共同打造了一个丰富且充满吸引力的中文项目，在支持儿童语言发展的同时，也培养了他们的文化意识和包容精神。我们非常喜欢看到孩子们在每一次活动中展现出的兴奋与热情，他们不断学习新的词汇、歌曲和文化传统
