Kinder working bees this weekend

For the next three weekends, we will be running working bees on Saturday and Sunday at the new kinder site. We will be trying to make significant progress with the vast amount of work that still has to be done before our new kindergarten can open at the start of term 2.


This is make or break time folks, so please make efforts to try to attend some of these working bees. There are jobs for everyone - digging, painting, sanding, cleaning... You don't need to be at all handy, just bring your energy and enthusiasm. We are also looking for people to provide morning tea and lunch at these working bees. Please contact me if you can help with that.


Working bee dates -


Saturday 3 March
Sunday 4 March


Saturday 10 March
Sunday 11 March


Saturday 17 March
Sunday 18 March


Working bees will run from about 9am to 3pm. All working bees will take place at the new kinder site at East Bentleigh Primary School, Bignell Rd, East Bentleigh.


On Saturday 3 March, we will be painting the inside of the building, installing some kitchen cupboards, constructing a section of the timber paling fence and finishing off the sandpit. Please bring the following if you have them - rubber gloves, sandpaper, paint brushes, ladders, rags to wipe down paint work, hammers, drop sheets, shovels and wheelbarrows.
On Sunday 4 March, we will be painting the inside of the building, painting some cupboards and digging a pathway. Please bring the following if you have them - rubber gloves, sandpaper, paint brushes, ladders, rags to wipe down paint work, drop sheets, shovels and wheelbarrows.


Please wear solid footwear and old clothes that you don't mind getting dirty - we're working on a building site, there are obstacles around and it's very dusty. Please note that children are not allowed on the new kinder site during the working bee as it is a building site and not safe for children. Older children are welcome to play in the school playgrounds outside the working bee site.


If you can help at any of these working bees, please contact me on:

Please contact me to let me know you can attend, so that I can ensure we have the right number of people and advise you of any last minute changes.


If you are unable to help out at weekend working bees, but are able to help out during the week - e.g. during school hours or in the evenings - please contact me to let me know and discuss getting access to the building.


Thank you for your help.
