What is National Family Day Care Week?

By registering a picnic and sharing your celebrations on social media using the official hashtag, #FDCWeek24, you’ll join the only nation-wide celebration dedicated to recognising the enormous contributions that family day care makes to Australian children, families and communities each and every day.

Eid al-Fitr also known as, the 'festival of breaking the fast' is a joyous occasion that marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting for Muslims, when they abstain from food and drink between dawn and sunset.
Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam and Eid al-Fitr is significant in celebrating the end of a very intense month of fasting, prayer, self-reflection and charity.
We wish a happy Eid al-Fitr to all our members that are celebrating.
