News

Our Parent Body have worked very hard and were able to fund the purchase of a new outdoor storage shed during 2010.

During the Easter 2011 school holidays we were fortunate enough to have the floor coverings replaced in both our rooms thanks to a Grant received from the Queensland Government Community Benefit Fund. Thank you to everyone involved in helping to make this happen.

We were also fortunate to receive a Grant from the Telstra Kids Fund to install an additional front gate.  This has now been installed and will assist in helping to improve security and child safety. 

 

 

Events

Our 2014 Wait List will open on 18 March 2012 at 8am.  For further details please contact the Centre closer to the time.  Please note that we are unable to accept Wait List applications prior to that date.

C & K Bulimba is managed by a Management Committee elected by the parents at the AGM held in November each year. We have a dedicated Social Committee that operates to provide social functions for the children, parents and families. Some of these functions include family picnics in the park, Mothers/Fathers Day events and a children's disco.  Each event is always highly anticipated and is a great opportunity to meet other families.
