Community Development Officer

Hi to all,
It is with great sadness that I say good bye to all our playgroups. I will be continuing my study in the new year at UTAS and enjoying some quality time with my young children.

Don't despair though! I have passed on the reins to Debbie Smith, our Program Coordinator who is more than qualified and will help all members with their queries.

Best of luck to all and a safe and happy holiday season to all

cheers
Kelli Schultz

Teddy Bear Portraits Competition Winners!

We received an overwhelming amount of entries for our Teddy Bear Competition. I only wish we could give a prize to all the entrants as the teddies sent in were all gorgeous and it was very hard for our CEO, Steve Yates to choose a winner.
So hard in fact that he ended up choosing two winners.

First prize went to Callie Griffin, aged 4 with her drawing of her Purple Beanie Kid. Callie won a book pack valued at $30, donated by Scholastic Books.

Second prize went to Jasmine Jones, age 4 with her drawing of her teddy bear. Jasmine won a book valued at $15, donated by Scholastic Books.

To see the winning entries visit our website at www.playgrouptas.org.au
