The Lachlan Children’s Services preschool class of 2024 graduated on Friday, 13 December.
“The children celebrated with a special ceremony and graduation cake made by Miss Lisa,” a statement by Lachlan Shire Council said.
“It is always sad to say goodbye but we are so excited for our graduates as they get ready to start big school, find new friends and have new experiences. We hope they have a wonderful time at kindy next year and look forward to seeing some of them back at after school or vacation care in the future. “Our childcare service is run by Lachlan Shire Council. It is a fully accredited, government funded, service which operates on a not-for-profit basis. We exist to ensure that all members of the community have access to affordable, quality child care services.
“Like many businesses, Lachlan Children’s Services has experienced some challenges during 2024 due to the tight labour market.
“To combat this, we have concentrated on offering training and development opportunities to our existing staff to help meet our needs and the needs of the community. “We have also recently welcomed some new trainees to our team and we look forward to supporting more of our staff to undertake training and professional development in 2025.
Lachlan Children’s Services took a short break over Christmas and reopened for vacation care on 6 January. Preschool recommenced on 3 February 2025.
There are also a very limited number of vacancies available in vacation care and afterschool care in 2025.
