Happy Father’s Day to all Dads, Grandads & special persons…
What an amazing week celebrating Father’s Day with our Playgroup families! 🎉

This Thursday, we kicked things off with a fun, energetic session from Kelly Mini Sports, followed by our little ones getting creative making special crafts for their everyday hero — Dad! Thank you Simon & coach Mikayla for the fantastic session..
As we welcomed the first days of spring, we set up bright and bold water play stations and a hands-on spice exploration for the kids to discover through play.

Even the rain couldn’t dampen our energy this week. We wrapped up with a shared morning tea, all as one big family, full of laughs and memories to treasure.

From all our Playgroup families-A very happy Father’s Day to all Dads, Grandads & special persons…

🌟🌟A big thank you to Cr Stefan Koomen for welcoming the Minister for Carers & Volunteers to Oakgrove yesterday.

We truly appreciate your support in securing funding for the major renovation and commitment to our community. This funding will help us create an even better, more welcoming space for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you for investing in our community and supporting the important work we do! 💛

Mary and the team at Oakgrove Community Centre do amazing work.

Yesterday, I welcomed the Minister for Carers and Volunteers to Oakgrove to show her the centre and meet some of the wonderful groups who use it.

In my last budget as Mayor, we secured Council funding for the design and construction of a major renewal of Oakgrove Community Centre.

It was great to discuss what's ahead while also meeting some of the people and groups who make this place so special.

Neighbourhood houses play such an important role in bringing people together, and I'm proud to support them.

We’ve been having the most fun at our Adventure Playgroup on Thursday mornings! 🎉

From messy play to clay art decorated with rose petals with a choice of fragrance for a beautiful wall hanging, to hands-on science experiments; there’s been so much to explore.
Book Week was a highlight too, with families arriving in gorgeous costumes to explore stations set up around different book themes. The kids went wild making rainbow slime during our science experiments!! so much giggling and mess (the good kind)!

We’ve got 3 weeks left of Term 3, and this week we’re celebrating with a special Father’s Day celebration!

Join us this Thursday at 10am for another morning of awesome adventures.
See you there!

We made bookmarks, created a paper mosaic of Elmer the patchwork elephant (rescued another Elmer from the ice!) & followed a recipe to make playdough.
Thank you to those who wished Jade & were able to stay for the birthday cake! ❤️
