- We consider that special events which happen during the year provide an excellent learning and socialising opportunity for the children.
- The diversity of the Australian population is acknowledged as an opportunity to explore many cultures.
- All children are treated as equal and special events are approached with sensitivity to other people’s beliefs. Individual cultural differences are treated with respect.
- We attempt to broaden children’s knowledge of other customs/land by stories, tapes, dress ups, lunch menu, resources, parent input and excursions.
- We keep religious celebration information minimal so as not to offend other beliefs.
Birthdays
- Children’s birthdays are a special day that many families would like us to celebrate.
- Subicare staff are happy to celebrate individual children’s birthdays.
- Parents are asked to inform staff of intention to provide something additional for lunch or afternoon tea and are requested to keep it simple with minimal sweetness. No drinks or lolly handouts are allowed.
- Parents are welcome to be part of the celebration or to choose to leave a camera for staff to take photos
