THE Tooborac Community and Primary School have announced that a playgroup will be held at the school starting on Tuesday 16 July.<\/p>\n

The primary school was deemed non-operational this year due to lack of enrolments.<\/p>\n

At a community consultation meeting with the Department of Education earlier this year to discuss the future of the school it was suggested that a playgroup would be a good use of the premises and encourage future enrolments.<\/p>\n

“The Tooborac community is really pleased to be able to run playgroup sessions during the school terms,” said Hannah Anderson.<\/p>\n

“There will be songs, stories and an opportunity to explore the space of the school and the playground afterwards.<\/p>\n

“We will also have a cuppa and a chat following the songs and stories.”<\/p>\n

There will be a special theme for the playgroup each week.<\/p>\n

“The theme for the first week is farm,” said Ms Anderson.<\/p>\n

“All children and their families from the Tooborac and surrounding areas will be very welcome.”<\/p>\n

The sessions begin at 9.15am and anyone interested can contact Ms Anderson on 0429 479 072.<\/p>\n

The Tooborac Primary School Community Action Group met with representatives from the Department of Education last month.<\/p>\n

As a school council cannot be formed without a principal and school parents a community advisory group was created with six members currently forming the Action Group.<\/p>\n

One of the objectives is to develop and enrolment promotion.<\/p>\n

The Advisory Group welcomed the appointment of Sandra Allison who will be the Tooborac Primary School Assistant Principal Liaison.<\/p>\n

Ms Allison will be available at the school on Tuesdays.<\/p>\n

She will be available to run tours and meet with prospective parents.<\/p>\n

Ms Allison can be contacted on 5433 5225 or tooborac.ps@education.vic.gov.au<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
