This past week has been another fun filled week at after school care. Despite the turning in the weather limiting our time outside, we have still been encouraging active play through our use of the school hall space, as well as going outside whenever we get the chance.
This week, to connect with our GAWS donations drive, we are focusing on our pets. As a part of this we are currently refreshing our pets wall. All OSHC families are invited to bring in a photo of their pet to have put up on the wall.
Over the month of May, we are organising a pet supplies drive for GAWS (Geelong Animal welfare society). GAWS is a not-for-profit animal welfare organisation providing best practice care, community education and re-homing programs. We are seeking donations of the following items
· New or in good condition towels and blankets
· Enrichment items for the shelter animals – kongs, large tug toys, scratching posts and treats eg: pigs ears and dental chews etc.
· Dog (dry food only) and cat food (wet & dry). Please consider brands that provide meat as its first ingredient, any low quality food may upset tummies.
· Small cat beds & igloos
· Flat bed sheets (no elastic)
We will collect all donations at Drysdale Primary School until Wednesday, 26th May and everything will be distributed to GAWS then. This is open to the entire Drysdale Primary School community, not just those who use OSHC. There is a box in the hall foyer for all donations.
