Current Programs

Friendships can be a huge issue for kids at times. Do you feel like you can't always help them? Not sure what the best thing is to do? Learn some tricks by reading the new Kids Matter Family newsletter.

Come and take part in our Need to Read program, running from now until week 10 this term on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Come into the Library at 8:20.

We've had up to 50 students in the first week. Come along and read with your friends and family to make a great start to the day.

Our Year 3/4 children had an exciting day on Tuesday being part of the upgrade of our “Vegie Garden”.  Thanks to some wonderful financial and man & women power support from  the Altona City Rotary Club and Bunnings Altona there has been a significant upgrade to our Vegie Garden. Bunnings kindly donated all the materials for construction, the mulch and soft fall and the plants while the Altona City Rotary Club donated the soil, gloves and small spades for the children to use.
