As many of you will have heard, the State government has increased the fees for preschool by more than double. As the childcare rebate is not available for preschools in public schools our wonderful preschool at Darlington is threatened with closure due to low numbers.Click on these links to read some recent newspaper articles about the issue:
August 16: Spelling out how NSW preschools can do better
September 8: Preschool fees move has parents doing sums and raising expectations
October 9: Preschool fee jump pressures parents
October 27: Preschool fee backdown is cheery news (for some schools)
October 28: Child's play no more - preschool enrolments tumble with new fees
November 1: A good early start is a child's best chance
To send a form letter to the NSW Premier, Barry O'Farrell, NSW Minister for Education, Adrian Piccoli, and your local State MP, go to Stop Fees in DEC Preschools at the NSW Teachers Federation Website. Please add a personal message if possible.
Best of all, please download the petition at the Redwatch website, get it filled out and return to the S&C President (details on the form).
