Important allergy notice

We operate inclusive services that educate and care for children with a range of additional support needs. We have a number of children enrolled across our services with food intolerances and allergies, ranging from mild to severe, or in some cases life threatening anaphylaxis. Similar to most schools, we are allergy aware and do not allow children to bring in foods that may trigger an allergic reaction of any sort (for example, all types of nuts).

The Big Chemistry Show

In this incredible chemistry show presented by JollyBops Science - metals burn, gases explode, and liquids magically change colour in an instant. Science taps into children’s curiosity and develops their natural desire to explore and experiment. This can lead to children hypothesising and developing strong problem-solving and analytical skills. It can inspire children to question how things work as they are born mini scientists and love asking the age-old question, ‘why’. Science exploration encourages and nurtures children to be agents of their own learning and fosters skills in critical thinking. Through a series of Chemistry experiments water changes to wine, Liquid Nitrogen liquefies air and even elephant’s toothpaste shoots to the ceiling, all in the name of Chemistry. Concepts explored in this engaging experience include chemical reactions, energy changes, solids, liquids and gases, atoms, physical versus chemical change & properties of materials.

Arrive at the centre no later than 9:30am | Please pack a healthy morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, water bottle and a sun-safe hat.
