Our Christmas Party!

 

After a whole year of uncertainty, we believe everyone needs something good, something exciting, something special

 

In the past, before the pandemic, Captain Bligh always held the Christmas party at our local primary school, and it was always a very important event for the children, their families, and their extended families. last year we couldn't do it due to COVID restrictions. This year given that NSW state has reached a certain level of vaccination, we are able to organise our Christmas Party again! 

 

Even better, we are going to hold it at the Windsor Wolves Club. They have been so supportive that they will allow us to use their newly renovated children's entertainment area for this special event! There will be jumping castle, face painting, balloon twisters, and much more! We just want to give the children and their families something that is unforgettable after such a hard year. 

 

We raised funds for Kyah and her family

 

One of our teachers noticed a message from a local Facebook group page asking for help for a 4-year-old little girl who attends Wilberforce Early Learning Centre who has been suffering from cancer and is going to have chemotherapy. The family has been struggling financially as the parents need to be at her side, travelling to Westmead Children's Hospital, etc. She brought this message to our centre. 

 

 

Being in the same area, Captain Bligh Early Learning Centre decides to do something for Kyah and her family.

 

We organised a jersey week between 15th-18th June at Captain Bligh and our families are very generous and kind to help. A big THANK YOU to all our families who donated for jersey week, together you raised $405.35! In addition to that, the owners of Captain Bligh also donated $600 personally. So Captain Bligh Early Learning Centre donated a total of $1,006 to Kyah’s Go Fund Me page in hope to help support Kyah and her family during this extremely tough time. For details about Kyah and her family and to help them if you can, please go to the Go Fund Me page. Big or small, it all helps!

Five Star Excellence Again!

 

In the recent council food and hygiene check, Captain Bligh was awarded Five Star Excellence again! This is the eighth year in a row since 2015 for us to receive the highest award in food and hygiene standard because we have always kept a safe and hygienic environment especially in food handling for the children. Congratulations!

 

36 Hours CCS for Preschoolers

 

Parents who do not meet and are not otherwise exempt from the Child Care Subsidy activity test will be entitled to 36 hours of subsidised care per fortnight to support their preschool-aged child to attend a preschool program at a Centre Based Day Care service. 

 

A family is entitled to the preschool exemption if:

  1. they are eligible for Child Care Subsidy
  2. the parent/s do not meet and are not otherwise exempt from the activity test, meaning their usual entitlement is less than 36 hours of subsidised care per fortnight (0 or 24 hours based on the family’s income)
  3. they have a preschool-aged child and
  4. that child attends an early educational program at a Centre Based Day Care service.

The preschool exemption does not apply to other children in the family who are not preschool-aged. For those children, the family’s usual entitlement will apply.

 

So if you are already entitled to 36 hours or more of CCS per fortnight, don't bother.

 

If you have decided that your child is going to primary school in February 2021, and you only have 0 or 24 hours of CCS, you can provide the expected date of starting school when you make a CCS claim or update your details in myGov, then let us know so we can update your child's detail accordingly in our system.

 

Captain Bligh Early Learning Centre is an Approved Centre-Based Centre regulated by the National Laws and Regulations, and we have the best Early Educational Program designed around the EYLF. Our program was assessed as "Exceeding the National Quality Standards". We have two qualified Early Childhood Teachers who have got over 15 and 17 years of experiences. So we are an eligible provider for this exemption purpose.

 

For more details about your eligibility and how to apply for this exemption, please download and read the Fact Sheet - Activity Test - Preschool Exemption from the Department of Education NSW. If you have any questions, please contact the Centre Director.
