Queens Park Kindergarten was the first preschool to open in the district and has been operating out of the same site for 60 years.
With the long history, there are some families who have attended the kindergarten through multiple generations.
Queens Park Kindergarten teacher Melanie Mullens said there are some children whose parents or even grandparents attended the kindergarten.
“Queens Park Kindergarten has been an important part of the community over the last 60 years,” she said.
Queens Park Kindergarten hopes that not only to generate some much-needed funds for critical equipment purchases through the Christmas Fete but also to create a wholesome local tradition for the kids that is pure fun and builds a strong sense of community and connection.
“Funds raised throughout the event will go towards our resources,” Ms Mullens said.
“We will buy extra resources for our children like play equipment, which are not funded by the government.”
There’ll be lots of fun ‘Christmassy’ things to do including a visit from Santa and carols, food and drink, book stall, loads of local wine to raffle, we’ll also have some traditional events including the sack plus Egg and spoon races!
Ms Mullens thanked the parents committee who devoted their time to the fete as well as the businesses in the community who supported the fete.
The Queens Park Kindergarten Christmas Fete will be held in the first week of December.
All are welcome.
