Snowy celebrations for kinder graduates

There was plenty of laughter to be heard at the Cardinia Lakes Early Learning Centre recently, as the young kinder graduates had the time of their lives enjoying a white, snowy Christmas celebration.

After a difficult year, the graduation ceremony and bubble ‘snow’ machine went down a treat with the kids, who were squealing with joy as they played together in the snow.

Despite experiencing a challenging start to their educations with all the hardships that Covid brought about, Tamika Hicks, the Cardinia Lakes Early Learning Centre manager, said that the soon-to-be Prep students were an incredibly resilient group of children who were going to thrive at school.

“After another challenging year navigating lockdowns, Covid outbreaks and at-home learning, we finally made it to the end of the 2021 teaching year,” Ms Hicks said.

“Our kinder children have now finished one very important chapter of their education journey, the years that set them up for life, their first five years.

“Now they embark on and begin a new learning journey, filled with excitement, as they start Prep.

“We send all our graduates off with our best wishes, and to all the Preps of 2022, good luck and have fun!”

What a great way to end the year – all the best kids!
