Library Visit

Only a limited number of availabilities - Please book your spot to not miss out.

Book your preschool class/es to attend Thomas Hassall Anglican College's Junior School Library for an excursion.  

The College can provide the Bus to transport your class to the College and back.

Please note the time you choose will be the time you are to be at the Library - factor in the distance between your Childcare and the College.  Pick up time by the bus will be confirmed after booking.

You will have access to the Library where your staff will read the Children a book using a big book, sing a song using a video on the big screen, work on a craft activity and they will be given a colouring book to take home about their excursion. The children will get back on the bus and head back to your centre - to be back in time for their lunch.  (NOTE that this visit will not include a Staff Member from the College, therefore your educators will run the session)
