If you are parent or carer of children aged from birth to six years old, we want to hear from you. Greater Shepparton Best Start Early Years Alliance (GSBSEYA) are seeking an enthusiastic parent or carer to join the alliance. If you want to help improve outcomes for our children then you can join the Greater Shepparton Best Start Early Years Alliance.
Expressions of interest are now open to parents or carers of children aged from birth to six years old on the Shaping Greater Shepparton website. Applications close on Friday 29 July 2022.
The GSBSEYA want to ensure Greater Shepparton is a child and family friendly place to live, work and play by working with services like Maternal and Child Health, playgroups and kindergartens, and the local community. This is an opportunity to contribute and improve the outcomes for our children and community.
GSBSEYA meetings are held bi-monthly on the third Thursday of the month and oversee the strategic direction for the Greater Shepparton Best Start Early Years Plan 2020-2025. The six-year plan aims to improve learning, health and wellbeing outcomes and has five key themes – Play, Learn, Thrive, Voice and Share. All themes have a series of measures of success to determine progress or achievements.
Currently the GSBSEYA has representatives from a wide range of early years, education, health, and family support organisations.
Expressions of Interest are open now and close on 29 July 2022. Further information or support with applying can be provided by contacting Belinda Whitelaw, Best Start Coordinator on 5832 9790 or email belinda.whitelaw@shepparton.vic.gov.au. Apply Here.
