Arts & Crafts at the Rec Centre
Hi everyone! I'm Luciana, and I love working with arts and crafts.
This term (see dates in the graphic) l'm excited to offer an extra creative activity for homeschooling children - or a fun option after sports.
To cover the cost of materials there is a small charge - see flyer for details
I'll be at the craft table in the rec centre from 10 am to 12 pm. Please come and join in with your children!
After sports at the Rec Centre we have a few options for extra activities
