The Great Kindy Cleanup

Julian Smith, Jenny Pitama and Sherryll Wilson at Kidsfirst Cashmere.

Watch out, kindy hoarders, the clean-up team are coming for you!

Julian, Jenny and Sherryll are getting a change of scene in the term breaks, heading out to kindergartens with clutter issues to sort them out.

"Sometimes it's past teaching teams, at others, existing ones who've stockpiled rubbish rather than removing broken or odd or unused equipment and resources on a regular basis," Sherryll says. "We're trying to tackle two kindergartens per term break so that the teaching teams can come back to a clean slate - and stay on top of it from there."

Sherryll says the project is fast gaining momentum, with other members of the Head Office team keen to pitch in.

"We've got interest from other clutter busters who are raring to go - and there's no shortage of volunteers."
