🐊 It’s World Crocodile Day!

One of our sharp-eyed patrons spotted our chalkboard message — 'It's World Crocodile Day - Snap up a book!' — and took it to the next level with an awesome croc drawing on our interactive whiteboard! 👏🎨

A big thank you to our talented (and anonymous!) artist — you definitely made us smile, crocodile! 💚

Today celebrates these incredible ancient reptiles and the need to protect them — 2026’s theme is 'Legacy in Every Scale.'

🌸 Pregnancy Care Package Donations – Supporting Local Mums & Newborns 🤍

The Senior Childcare students at Lesmurdie Senior High School have launched a special project to support members of our community in need through charitable service.
This term, students are focusing on helping mums-to-be by creating care packages filled with essential and gently pre-loved items to support both mum and bub as they begin their journey together. As the saying goes, “Every great journey begins with a single step.”
We are now seeking donations of baby essentials to help bring these care packages to life. Over the next 4 weeks, donations can be dropped off at Lesmurdie Community Library, where they will be sorted and thoughtfully prepared into packages for families in need. All packages will be distributed to Pregnancy Assistance on Friday, 3 July.

🧸 Items we are collecting:
Disposable nappies (unopened packs)
Baby wipes (unopened packs)
Bibs (new or gently used)
Baby bottles (new)
Dummies (new)
Swaddles (new or gently used)
Baby toys and books (new or gently used)
Baby clothes (new or gently used)

💛 Every contribution counts — no matter how big or small, your donation can make a meaningful difference in the lives of a mother and her newborn in need.
Thank you to our generous Hills community for your ongoing support!
