Come meet the Easter Bunny

FRIENDS OF The Pound is running a rabbit petting pen and photographs with the Easter Bunny this Easter long weekend at Petbarn in Tweed Heads South.

President of Friends of the Pound, Sonia Trichter, said Rabbit Rescue at Grafton have been overwhelmed with too many rabbits and can’t take any more.

“They have been contacting us so we have been taking some so they don’t have to be euthanised,” Sonia said.

“We are running a petting pen which we hope might create interest in maybe adopting a rabbit.

“The Easter Bunny will be there for photographs with the rabbits and the children and every child will get an Easter egg if their parents allow it.

language,” she said.

“EAL/D learners can include those born in Australia and raised in families in which languages or dialects other than English are spoken, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, or children of families who have moved to Australia.”

As a result of this program, Ms Parmenter said the school has built a language foundation for successful classroom learning and continued to celebrate and strengthen multicultural inclusion at their school.

In fact, some readers may not be aware that THSPS has Tweed’s only NSW Department of Education preschool.

The beautifully and functionally designed preschool embraces the principles of “Belonging, Being, Becoming” and ensures the cultures represented by all families are welcomed and embraced.

“The dedicated educators at THSPS are committed to equitable outcomes for all students,” Ms Parmenter said.

THSPS is taking enrolments for 2024. To find out more please phone: (07) 5524 3408.

“If a parent just wants to bring a child along to pet a rabbit and is not interested in adopting, they are more than welcome to come along anyway.

“The rabbits will all be desexed and they will all be vaccinated.

“We will have expressions of interest to adopt the rabbits. We will take a photo of the rabbit so we know which one they are interested in. They will need to be desexed before being taken.

“Petbarn are giving us their vet space for the petting; they are very supportive of us with sponsorship and thousands of dollars for desexing.

“We look forward to seeing families there, for what should be a lovely experience.”
