What to expect for 2022:
Please remember it is up to the group to organise activities each term and support those lovely parents (and grandparents!) who volunteer their time and effort. Make sure to check out the ABOUT page for more details. Our Behaviour Guidelines are available there. Parents are to remain at the venue and remain responsible for their children at all times.
Below is a description of the main workshops being run each term. We also have an end of term party, excursions, incursions, movie nights, a lantern festival and a co-op magazine edited and compiled by the kids. And much much more.
COVID NOTICE: Please continue to be sensible about not coming in to co-op if a member of your family is feeling unwell. THANK YOU
