Together we are stronger. Together we create hope. ❤️

I will be doing one more donation drop to Nourish Street Inc on Saturday 23rd August for non-perishable items and toiletries.
Thank you for all the previous donations. They were so so grateful ☺️

Our kindergarten is seeking donations for Nourish Street Inc this month.
There is a list of items outside the Blue room that can help people living in tents.
Currently they are experiencing low stocks of water.
We are reaching out to our wonderful community 💕

💧 COMMUNITY SHOUT OUT — WE NEED WATER! 💧

Did you know Nourish Street goes through around 1,400 bottles of water every single week?

That might sound like a lot, but when you break it down, it’s only around 2 bottles of water per person, per meal.

Right now, our stocks of 600ml bottled water are running very low.

If you’ve been looking for a simple, practical way to support what we do, water is one of the best things you can donate. It’s something we hand out every single week and something we are always going to need.

Even one carton helps. 💙

📍 DROP-OFF LOCATION:
Unit 9, 37 Kremzow Rd
Brendale QLD 4500

Thank you, as always, for backing Nourish Street and helping us keep our outreach vehicles stocked and ready to go.

Family led, community fed. ❤️

Should children be protected from all risk, or given opportunities to build confidence through challenge?

A growing body of research is highlighting the value of risky play in early childhood, showing how climbing, balancing, exploring and testing limits can help children develop resilience, problem-solving skills and emotional strength.

For educators and families, the conversation is shifting from eliminating risk to creating safe, supported environments where children can learn through challenge.
