The weather was beautiful and everything went so smoothly. Much of the original cohort of staff and committee were in attendance, travelling from as far away as Queensland to attend.

They were so pleased to see the preschool going from strength to strength, and loved being able to browse the classrooms and playground.

Michael Jarrett offered a Welcome and Acknowledgment of Country, the Valla Lion's Club was there cooking up the barbeque and Stewart Peters and Snez Dalceska offered us some great music and entertainment.

The children had a stall selling their fresh produce and eggs from the garden, which was well attended.

We sold lots of books! But there are still some left – $15 if anyone wants to purchase one. 

Special thanks to Adi Moir, Rebecca Porteous and Carley Taylor for all their work preparing the book, ready to be launched on the big day.
