Registrations are now locked in and numbers have been given to Bardon Centre. This means that even if you are no longer able to come for whatever reason, we will have to pay for your place.
Cancellations will only be able to occur if we can fill your place with another registration. A few are still trickling in..
Accomodation registrations are NOW CLOSED.
Day stay registrations and lecture only registrations are still open until 16 June.
Thanks again

3 lots of new info!!
ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING DOCUMENTS
We have had a request to pass on to you all - Would it be possible for people to bring their Assessment and Reporting Documents that they use in kindy to Vital years please?? Particularly, things that deal with Class One readiness.
This would be much appreciated. There may be a free initiative formed over the Vital Years to discuss this important issue.
BUS PICK UPS.
Is there anyone else requiring a bus pick up on the Monday morning? THe 9am bus is full but there are about 10 spots left in the 7.30 and heaps in the 6am. Let me know via email if this is you. John, the bus driver, will collect you in the SILKWOOD BUS, outside roma st station on the river side. (the courthouse side). We will post a sign where you will need to wait.
SINGING GROUP A
There are 6 people in singing, in group A, that will need to shift to another Session A workshop. Unfortunately, our host Kathyryn May is ill and cannot take her groups. We have been able to find Carla Peverini from Samford, to host the B session (thank you, Carla!!) which leaves us with a group and no teacher for session A.
I will attempt to contact the 6 via email but if this is you, please email me with your second choice- you can either do a different A workshop or join in a crafty C session.
See you soon

BIG CHANGE TO EXCURSION
Hello excursion adventurers!!
I have some news for you! Unfortunately, we only have about 30 of you who wanted to take advantage of a day out so we have had to make some logistical changes to the day to make it feasible for everyone involved, HOWEVER, I am thinking that you will probably be excited and joyous at the change, so... here goes.
We will leave centre on the friday with a packed lunch and travel to Samford Valley School. Connie and her team will take us all for a grand tour throughout their school. Be sure to bring your cameras! We will then hop back on the bus and journey down to Silkwood School on the Gold Coast. As this is a bit of a journey, we will be famished so will be met at Silkwood by the SCCA team (parents and friends) who will nourish us with afternoon tea. We will then tour around the school.
We will then rejoin bus to travel 15 mins to Fingerprints, our new privately owned but school affiliated Preschool, in it's lovely rural setting. What a treat! It is gorgeous!!
Finally, we will head into Mudgeeraba town (a lovely historical village of the Gold coast- yes, there are a few historical areas but not too many!!) and have dinner in one of the local well known restaurants- A lovely, social and relaxed way to finish off our week in Bris/GC.
John, the bus driver, will then return our weary bodies back to Bardon for our final nights kip.
I am confident that this new route and plan will satisfy the itch many of us have to visit as many schools as we can!!
Looking forward to it now. Wish me luck, I have a big tooth operation on 17th June and hope my face will have recovered in time!!

Wow! Not long to go now!
Hello again.
The Vital Years is creeping upon us and it won't be long until we are together in Brisbane.
We have over 180 people coming this year and a few more are filtering in. If you know of anyone who hasnt registered as yet, please remind them to do it by the end of May, especially if they are requiring accomodation.
We now have quite a few people who have registered with us to sell their crafty bits in the shop!! Avril, Nikki, Mia and I are so excited to see what everyone has made. The shopping part is always a highlight for me (and I hope you too!)
Please remember to bring some cash with you for these purchases as there is no eftpos machine on site.
All people staying at the centre will require a credit card imprint for registration at the centre. This is a Bardon Centre requirement.
Finally, it looks like we will have a few spots to sell in workshops so if you wish to do a third one, (most of the vacancies are in session C) please bring $50 cash with you to the registration desk on the first day (you will need to also pay the host their workshop material fee if there is one) after checking out the noticeboards and making your choice.
These workshops begin on the first day, so there is no time to be wasted. It will be first in, first served to fill these spots.
A couple of changes to note:
The modelling workshop by Michael Howard has been revamped to include seed and grain drawings, clay work and some basic sculpture as well as beeswax modelling. His plans sound GREAT! If you are in this class, please bring with you a whittling knife.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
